Pyrimidine-2,4-diones, 6-amino-, reaction ester

The reaction of potassium 3-amino-4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazoline-2-thiolate 62 with a-bromophenylacetic acid 63 resulted in the formation of (3-amino-4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2-ylsulfanyl)-phenyl-acetic acid methyl ester 64 which on alkali treatment and subsequent acidification resulted in the synthesis of 2-phenyl- 1-thia-4,4a,9-triaza-anthracene-3,10-dione 65 <1999JCR(S)86>. Similarly, the reaction of potassium 3-amino-5,6-dimethyl-4-oxo-3,4,4a,7a-tetrahydrothieno[2,3- pyrimidine-2-thiolate 66 with a-bromo-ester 67 resulted in the formation of 2-(3-amino-5,6-dimethyl-4-oxo-3,4,4a,7a-tetrahydrothieno[2,3- / pyrimidin-2-ylsulfanyl)-propionic acid ethyl ester 68. Subsequent treatment with alkali followed by acidification resulted in the formation of 2,3,7-trimethyl-3a,9a-dihydro-l,8-dithia-4a,5,9-triazacyclopenta[ ]naphthalene-4,6-dione 69 <2000JHC1161>... 

Many ring-fused imidazole derivatives have been synthesized by various methods. Domino Michael addition retro-ene reaction of 2-alkoxyiminoimidazolidines and acetylene carboxylates provided a synthesis of 2,3-dihydroimidazo[l,2-a]pyrimidin-5-(l//)-ones <05T5303>. A single step synthesis of 3,5-dialkyl-9-nitroimidazo[l,2-c]quinazolin-2(3//)-ones from simple carbonyl compounds, primary amines or amino acid methyl esters and 2-azido-5-nitrobenzonitrile has been published <05TL5778>. Diels-Alder reaction of azadienes and benzimidazole-4,7-diones afforded imidazo[4,5-g ]quinoline-4,9-dione derivatives <05EJ01903>. Reaction between isocyanides and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates in the presence of 4,5-diphenyl-l,3-dihydro-2//-imidazol-2-one provided a one-pot synthesis of 5//-imidazo[2,l-ft][l,3]oxazine derivatives <05T2645>. Microwave irradiation was employed in the synthesis of 1-ary 1-3-acetyl-1,4,5,6-... 

The conditions of urea formation by reaction of the 2-amino group with an isocyanate do not always suffice for a subsequent ring closure. In these cases, the intermediate requires higher temperatures27 or basic conditions28 to cyclize with the neighboring ester function to yield pyrido[2,3-c/]pyrimidine-2,4(l//,3//)-diones. 

The reactions of amino esters 97 (R =H, CH2Ph) with potassium cyanate afforded c/.y-cyclopenta[c/]pyrimidine-2,4-dione 98, while those with potassium thiocyanate led to cw-2-thioxocyclopenta[[Pg.291]
