Pyrimidine amide

Cross-reactivity with JAK kinases is a recurring theme with pyrimidine-carboxamides [81,82], but compound 20 exemplifies a Syk-selective series [81]. Pyrimidine amide 20 has an IC50 of 6nM against Syk, and broad screening (at 300 nM concentration) demonstrated significant selectivity for Syk over 270 kinases. In Ramos cells, 20 inhibited BCR-induced phosphorylation of BLNK, a direct substrate of Syk, with an EC50 of 500-750 nM and Ca2+ flux with an EC50 = 117 nM. Compound 20 potently... 

The preparation of some novel pyrimido[4,5-6][l,4]benzothiazepines has been described employing a Bischler-Napieralski-type cyclisation on pyrimidine amide derivatives... 

Thiamine forms the expected derivatives of the thia zole alcohol function, such as carboxyUc and phosphate esters. Eew reactions at the pyrimidine 4-amino function have been reported. Most of the usual conditions used for formation of amides, for example, lead to destmction of the thiazolium ring. 

The aminolysis of esters of pyrimidine occurs normally to yield amides. The reagent is commonly alcoholic ammonia or alcoholic amine, usually at room temperature for 20-24 hours, but occasionally under refiux aqueous amine or even undiluted amine are used sometimes. The process is exemplified in the conversion of methyl pyrimidine-5-carboxylate (193 R = Me) or its 4-isomer by methanolic ammonia at 25 °C into the amide (196) or pyrimidine-4-carboxamide, respectively (60MI21300), and in the butylaminolysis of butyl ttracil-6-carboxylate (butyl orotate) by ethanolic butylamine to give A-butyluracil-5-carboxamide (187) (60JOC1950). Hydrazides are made similarly from esters with ethanolic hydrazine hydrate. 

Pyrimido[4,5- f]pyrimidines may be used as pyrimidine precursors. Thus, the dihydro derivative (736) undergoes alkaline hydrolysis to the amide (737 R = PrCO) which may be deacylated in ethanolic hydrogen chloride to give 5-aminomethyl-2-propylpyrimidin-4-amine (737 R = H) (64CPB393) rather similarly, the pyrimidopyrimidinedione (738) reacts with amines to give, for example, 6-amino-5-benzyliminomethyl-l,3-dimethylpyrimidine-2,4(lFf,3Ff)-dione (739 R = CH2Ph) or the hydrazone (739 R = NH2) (74JCS(Pl)1812). 

In fact, most pyrimidinecarboxylic acids are made by hydrolysis of the corresponding esters, nitriles or sometimes amides, many of which can be made more easily by primary synthesis than can the acids themselves. Thus, pyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid may be made by alkaline hydrolysis of its ethyl ester (62JOC2264) and pyrimidin-5-ylacetic acid (789 ... 

R = H) is made similarly from its ester (789 R = Et), itself prepared by several obvious steps (see (i) below) from the pyrimidine (788) which can be made by primary synthesis (66AP362). 4-Aminopyrimidine-5-carbonitrile (790 R = CN), which may be made by primary synthesis, undergoes hydrolysis in alkali to the amino acid (790 R = C02H) it may be made similarly from the amide (790 R = CONH2) (53JCS331). 

There are several other specialized ways to make individual amides but none is general. A random example is the self-condensation of malondiamide to give 4,6-dihydroxy-pyrimidin-2-ylacetamide (56JCS2312). 

The phleomycin, bleomycin and related families are widespectrum antibiotics containing the pyrimidine (987) in addition, they have antineoplastic activity and bleomycin is already in clinical use for certain tumours. They were isolated about 1956 from Streptomyces verticillus, and in addition to the pyrimidine portion the molecules contain an amide part (R ) and a complicated part (R ) consisting of polypeptide, an imidazole, two sugars, a bithiazole and a polybasic side chain which can vary widely phleomycin and bleomycin differ by only one double bond in the bithiazole section (78MI21303). The activity of such antibiotics is increased by the addition of simple heterocycles (including inter alia pyrimidines and fused pyrimidines) and other amplifiers (82MI21300). 

Note Traces of ammonia left by the mobile phase should be completely removed from the chromatograms before the reagent is applied in order to avoid strong background coloration. The dipping solutions may also be applied as spray solutions. Secondary amines, amides, pyrimidines and purines do not react with the reagent [1]. In the case of benzodiazepines only those substances react which... 

Formylation of the amino aldehyde, and subsequent treatment of the amide (46) with ammonia enabled Armarego to prepare pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine (1). This compound was also obtained by the decomposition of the tosylhydrazino compound (47). ... 

Shaw and McDowellhave prepared imidazolone derivatives by cyclization of a-acylamino amides. In a variation of this reaction the azlactone (30) was gradually converted to the hydroxamic acid (31) by methanolic hydroxylamine. Sodium methoxide and hydroxylamine readily gave the acyclic hydroxamic acid (32) which could be cyclized to 31 by dilute acid. Benzyloxyurea has been used in the sjrnthesis of pyrimidine hydroxamic acids (33) by reaction with /S-diketones followed by catalytic hydrogenation of the benzyl group. Protection... 

The solid state structures of anhydro-(3-methy - and 3-phenyl-2-hydroxy-4-oxo-47/-pyrido[l,2-n]pyridinium)hydroxides, 2-methoxy-3-methyl-47/-and 2-(2-pyridylamino)-47/-pyrido[l, 2-n]pyrimidin-4-ones were established by X-ray diffraction analysis. The amide type N(5)-C(4)-0 bonds are unusually long (144-149 pm) showing no sign of an amide type conjugation. 

The chloro atom of 2-[4-(6-chloronicotinoyl)benzyloxy]-3-methyl-4//-pyrido[l,2-n]pyrimidin-4-one, its 6-methyl derivative and 2-[4-(6-chlo-ronicotinoyl)benzylthio]-3-methyl-4//-pyrido[l,2-n]pyrimidin-4-one was replaced by a 4-piperidinopiperidino and 4-phenylpiperazino group with 4-piperidinopiperidine and 4-phenylpiperazine (96EUP733633). The carboxyl group of 2-[4-(4-carboxybenzoyl)benzyloxy]-3-methyl-4//-pyrido[l,2-n]pyrimidin-4-one, prepared by hydrolysis of methyl ester in DMF with 1 N NaOH, was reacted first with diethyl pyrocarbonate in DMF at room temperature and then with 4-phenylpiperazine and 4-piperidinopiperidine to give the appropriate amide derivatives (96EUP733633). 

Cyclization of A -aryl-2-(ethoxycarbonyl)-3-(2-pyridylamino)acrylamides 307 in AcOH, and in PPA, or in ethylene glycol afforded A-aryl-4-oxo-4//-pyrido[l,2-n]pyrimidine-3-carboxylic amide 308 (94KGS629, 95KFZ(5)39).
