Pyrimidin-2 -ones reduction

Cycloaddition and cyclization routes were used to access certain 1,3-diazines. The 4+2 cycloaddition reaction of 4-(N-allyl-N-aryl)amino-l,3-diaza-l,3-butadienes with vinyl-, isopropenyl-, and chloroketene led to pyrimidinone-fused pyrimidinones <97T13841>. Cis-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidines were derived from cis-2-amino-l-cyclopentanecarboxylates by cyclization with KOCN and KSCN <97JHC1211>. 2-Thioxopyrido[3, 2 4,5]thieno[3,2-r/]pyrimidin-4(3//)-ones 19 were prepared by cyclocondensation of 2-carbethoxy-3-amino-4-phenyl-6-substituted-thieno[2,3-/)]pyridines and isothiocyanates <97JHC937>. Thiazolyl-benzimidazoles derived from 2-cyanomethyl-l//-benzimidazole and 2,3-dihydrothiazole-2-(3//)-thiones were cyclized to the corresponding thiazolo[4,5-r/]pyrimidines <97PHA346>. Reductive cyclization of 6-cyanomethyl-5-nitropyrimidines afforded 7-alkyl-5//-pyrrolo[3,2-r/]pyrimidines and 6-amino-7,7-dialkyl-7//-pyrrolo[3,2-rf]pyrimidines <97T391>. 7-Methyl-5-alkyl-2-vinyl-pyrazolo[3,4-r/]pyrimidine-4,6(5//,7//)-diones arose from cyclization and alkylation of... 

Besides pyrimidines one example of NaBH4 reduction described for 4-trifluoromethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazines 1050 (see Scheme 224), which reacted with NaBH4 giving corresponding dihydroderivatives 1277 in good yields (Scheme 285) [628]. 

Most pteridines are degraded to pyrazines and when they do yield pyrimidines, these may well be the ones from which they were made. However, some useful preparations of pyrimidines from pteridines are known. Thus, reduction of pteridin-7(8//)-one (732) and subsequent hydrolysis yields N-(4-aminopyrimidin-5-yl)glycine (733) (52JCS1620) and hydrolysis of 5,8-dimethylpteridine-6,7(5Ff,8Ff)-dione (734) gives dimethyl-... 

Hydrogenation of the pyridine ring in the reduction of 2-amino-j3yrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4 3/7)-one was proved by synthesis. ... 

The 3-amino group of 3,4-diamino-2//-pyrido[l,2-u]pyrimidin-2-ones 216, obtained from 3-nitroso derivatives by reduction with Na2S204 in 30% NH4OH at 70-80 °C, was acylated with acyl chlorides, and the acylated products 217 were cyclized to pyrido[2,l-Z)]purin-10-ones 218 by treatment with NaOMe (95JHC1725).
