Pyrimidine-2-ones

Preliminary IR spectral studies were said to suggest that pyrimidinones existed as pyrimidinols <50JCS3062) but this conclusion was promptly reversed <52JCS168) on better experimental evidence subsequent comparison with their N- and O-methyl derivatives showed that the pyrimidinones (39a R = H) and (40a R = H) along with their A-methyl derivatives (39a R = Me), (40a R = Me) and (40b R = Me) all exhibited vqo in the range 1600-1700 cm, whereas the methoxypyrimidines (39b R = Me) and (40c R = Me) showed no such absorptions <53JCS33l, 55JCS211). Closer analysis of the spectra for pyrimidin-4-one (40a R= H) showed that the ort/jo-quinonoid form (40a R = H) is the predominant tautomer (see Section 2.13.1.4). 

Enzymic oxidations at the 7-position of pyrido[2,3-oxygenated derivatives and of the 8-N-oxide have been observed in the metabolism of the pyrido[2,3-e/]pyrimidine analogues of the antiepileptic drug methaqualone (75MI21502, 74MI21500).

Hydroxypyrimidine (89a) can tautomerize to two alternative 0X0 forms, 90 (R = H) and 91 (R = H). The infrared solution spectra of pyrimidin-2- and -4-one clearly indicate the presence of both C=0 and NH groups, and by using these spectra Mason demonstrated that pyrimidin-4-one existed predominantly in the o-quinonoid... 

Between 1951 and 1953 investigations by three English groups clearly demonstrated the preponderance of the oxo forms of pyrimidin-2- and -4-ones by comparing the ultraviolet spectra of these compounds with those of the N and 0-alkylated derivatives, The o-quinonoid form 91 (R = H) is favored by the evidence that A -methylation of the 6-methyl derivative of 89a does not cause a bathochromic shift in the ultraviolet spectrum (A -methylation of pyrid-4-one causes a bathochromic shift, but this is not observed for pyrid-2-one) The isomeric A -methyl derivatives of pyrimidin-4-ones [e.g., 91 (R = Me) and 90 (R = Me)] form similar cations (e.g., 92 and 93), and hence the equilibrium constant between... 

Stability constants of metal complexes of 9-hydroxy-4//-pyrido[l,2-n]pyrimidin-4-one [Ni(II), Co(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II)] were determined by potentiometric and polarographic investigations (93JCC283). The distribution coefficient of risperidone (11) in H20- -octanol at pH 7.4 (log D — 2.04) was determined by an RP-HPLC method (01JMC2490). 

Bond orders and charge densities of 4//-pyrido[l, 2-u]pyrimidin-4-one and its protonated form were calculated by the semiempirical AMI method with full optimization of geometry (97MI22). 

Diorganotin(IV) complexes with 4//-pyrido[l,2-n]pyrimidin-4-ones 109 (96MI4), complexes of 2-methyl- and 2-methyl-8-nitro-9-hydroxy-4//-pyrido[l,2-n]pyrimidin-4-ones with Ag(I), Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), and Mn(II) ions (00MI23), 2,4-dimethyl-9-hydroxypyrido[l, 2-n]pyrimidinium perchlorate and its complexes with prasedynium, neodymium, samarium and europium (00MI24) were characterized by UV spectroscopy. 

IR spectra in conjunction with theoretical calculations (B3LYP/6-31G ) indicate that the n /2ydro-(2-hydroxy-4-oxo-4//-pyrido[l, 2-n]pyrimidinium)-hydroxide form exists in solution and in the crystal, but the 2-hydroxy-4//-pyrido[l,2-n]pyrimidin-4-one tautomer dominates in the gas phase (00JCS(P2)2096). 

Polymorphic forms of I and II of 3- 2-[4-(6-fluorobenzo[r/ isoxazol-3-yl)-3,6-dihydro-2//-pyridin-l-yl]ethyl -2-methyl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-4//-pyrido [1,2-n]pyrimidin-4-one was characterized by IR spectroscopy (99MIP1). 

Diorganotin(IV) complexes 109 were characterized by NMR spectroscopy (96MI4). The downfield chemical shift of 6-H in 2-fluoroalkyl-4//-pyrido[l,2-n]pyrimidin-4-ones 111 is attributed to the anisotropic effect of the 4-carbonyl group (97JCS(P1)981). 

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. 

Flash vacuum thermolysis (FVT) of 2-substituted 4//-pyrido[l,2-n]pyrimidin-4-ones 126 above 800 °C afforded (2-pyridyl)iminopropadie-none (130) (99JCS(P2)1087). These reactions were interpreted in terms of reversible ring opening of 4//-pyrido[l,2-n]pyrimidin-4-ones to imidoyl-ketenes 127. A 1,5-H shift in 127 generated the N(l)H-tautomeric methylene ketene 128, in which facile elimination of HX took place via a six-membered cyclic transition state 129 to yield 130. In the case of 2-methoxy derivative 126 (X = OMe) another competing pathway was also identified at lower temperature, which resulted in the formation C3O2 and 2-methylaminopyr-idine via mesoionic isomer 131 (Scheme 9). The products were identified by IR spectroscopy. 

Oxidation of 9-(4-pyridylvinyl)-7-methyl-2-morphohno-4//-pyrido[l, 2-a -pyrimidin-4-one with cetyltrimethylammonium permanganate in CH2CI2 at room temperature for 5 h yielded a 9-formyl derivative (01MIP9). 

Chlorination of 2-hydroxy-4//-pyrido[l,2-n]pyrimidin-4-one with NCS in a mixture of AcOH and TFA at room temperature for 72 h yielded a 3-chloro-2-hydroxy derivative (95JMC4687). Bromination of 2-chloro-4//-pyrido[l, 2-n]pyrimidone with Br2 in a mixture of CH2CI2 and pyridine at room temperature for 15 min gave a 3-bromo derivative (00BMC751). 

Reaction of 2-amino-4/f-pyrido[l,2-n]pyrimidin-4-ones 143 with HNMei -HCl and paraformaldehyde in Dowtherm A afforded a mixture of 3-(A,A-dimethylamino)methyl derivatives 144 and bis-compounds 145 (93FES1225). Mannich reaction of 9-hydroxy-2-methyl-4//-pyri-dor],2-nlpyrimidin-4-one (146) yielded 8-aminomethyl derivatives 147 (94KFZ(10)23).
