The pyridine family of heteroaromatie nitrogen compounds is reactive toward nueleophilie substitution at the C-2 and C-4 positions. The nitrogen atom serves to aetivate the ring toward nueleophilie attack by stabilizing the addition intermediate. This kind of substitution reaction is especially important in the ehemistiy of pyrimidines. 

A large number of nucleophilic substitution reactions involving interconversions of pyridopyrimidines have been reported, the majority of which involve substituents in the pyrimidine ring. This subject has been reviewed previously in an earlier volume in this series which dealt with the theoretical aspects of nucleophilic re-activiti in azines, and so only a summary of the nucelophilic displacements of the substituent groups will be given here. In general, nucleophilic substitutions occur most readily at the 4-position of pyrido-... 

This type of substitution reaction is useful forthe synthesis of biologically active nucleosides. 1-Deoxy-l-nitroribose reacts with 2,4-bis(trimethylsilyloxy)pyrimidine in the presence of FeCl3 in MeCN to give the nucleoside in 77% yield (Eq. 7.30).34... 

Benzo-fused pyrrolizines can be prepared from the palladium-catalyzed reaction of alkynes with imines of 2-halogenoanilines. Pyrimidine-substituted alkynes react in the same way, to produce the pyrimidine-fused pyrrolizines 161 <2001JOC412> (Scheme 48). 

Thiadiazinotriazolopyrimidines can be prepared in several ways from the hydrazine-substituted thiadiazino-pyrimidine 186. Reaction with carbon disulfide gives the thione 187 reaction with either anhydrides or orthoformates with sulfuric acid gives the substituted triazoles 188, and reaction with cyanogen iodide gives the aminotriazole 189 (Scheme 47) <2004HC0335>. 

The 1,2,4-oxadiazole dioxolanes 144 react with hydroxylamine and hydrazines to form the 5-pyrazole- and isoxazole-substituted 1,2,4-oxadiazoles 146 via the dioxolane ring-opened intermediates 145 (Scheme 17). Reaction of compounds 144 with amidine or guanidine salts allows access to pyrimidine substituted analogues 147, via intermediate 145 (X = C(NH)R1), albeit in lower yield <1996JHC1943, 1998JHC161>. 

Substituted malondialdehydes form pyrimidines substituted in the 5-position with an alkyl, aryl, halo, or hetero substituent. The pyrimidine is unsubstituted in the 4- and 6-positions. /3-Dialdehyde equivalents are frequently used in these reactions, for example, 3-alkoxy- or 3-aminoacroleins. With aldehydo ketones, the pyrimidine carries a substituent in the 4- or 6-position. The formyl group in the ketone is normally masked as an alkoxymethylene ketone or as an aminomethylene ketone. A commonly used procedure involves the preparation of a dimethylaminomethyl-ene ketone 645 by reaction of a methyl ketone 644 with DMF dimethylacetal and subsequent reaction with an amidine or guanidine to form the target pyrimidine 646 <2003MI237, 2004JHC461>. 

Nucleophilic substitution reactions (SnAt) are among the most common transformations of pyrimidines. Direct displacements of a variety of leaving groups have been reported, such as the reactions of 23 with heteroaromatic nucleophiles which produced 2-substituted pyrimidines 24 <99JCS(P1)1325>. 

A major recent growth point in substitution reactions has been the synthesis of pteridine glycosides, especially ribosides for study as probes in DNA chemistry taking advantage of the fluorescent properties of pteridines (see Section 10.18.12.4). Typically these reactions are developments of standard methods of glycosylation used with purines and pyrimidines as nucleophiles. In these and in other cases, the ambident nucleophiles within the pterin... 

Dicyano-l,3-dimethyluracil (156) undergoes substitution reactions with amines or sodium methoxide to yield 157 (R = NHR or OCH3). Compounds 157 reacted with hydrazines to yield the hydrazino derivative 158, which readily cyclized to the pyrazolo[3,4-[Pg.343]

Electrophilic substitution reactions of thieno[3,2-cf pyridine occur at position 7 (equation 38). With dimethyl sulfate in an alkaline medium, thieno[3,2-cf pyrimidin-4-one (347) yields an N-methyl derivative. 

Dichloro-5-fluoropyrimidine (238) reacts with 3-aminopropanol in the presence of triethylamine to give the intermediate hydroxypropylamino substituted pyrimidine (239). Reaction of this compound with thionyl chloride results in the desired ring closure to the product (240), which is isolated as the hydrochloride salt (65USP3320256). 

Within the following subsections the stability of the bicyclic ring system, plus the hydrogenation, reduction, dehydrogenation, oxidation, and quater-nization of the compounds are reviewed. This is followed by discussion of substitution reactions affecting the pyrido [ 1,2-a]pyrimidine ring, transformations of the side chains, and finally ring transformation reactions. 

The electrophilic substitution reactions of 1,3-dimethylpyrrolo[3,2-coupling yield 7-substituted products. However, nitration in acetic acid gives primarily attack at position 6. In some reactions 6,7-disubstitution is observed [95CHE(30)1077]. 

Methylsulfonyl)-3-phenyl-3//-l,2,3-triazol[4,5-d]pyrimidine 176 was prepared by the reaction of 175 with sodium methyl sulfide, followed by oxidation with potassium permanganate in acetic acid. A nucleophilic substitution reaction on 176 with potassium cyanide gave 182, but the same reaction did not take place on 175. Treatment of 176 with sodium methoxide... 

Substitutions can also occur at the 2-position of similar thienopyrimidines <86PHA23,91IJC(B)618>. 2-Methylthiothieno[2,3-(7]pyrimidines undergo reaction with hydrazine in an analogous manner <87KGS1131>.
