Quinazoline. 4-ethoxy-, reaction with

There has been little systematic study of the chemistry of 1,4-oxazepines. Vigorous acid hydrolysis cleaves the amide linkage in (369 R1=Ph, R2 = H) and recyclization gives 2-o-hydroxyphenyl-5-phenyloxazoline and l,2,3,4-tetrahydro-l,8-dihydroxy-3-phenyl-isoquinoline. The l,4-benzoxazepin-5-one (353) can be alkylated at N but on treatment with triethyloxonium fluoroborate it is converted to 5-ethoxy-3-phenyl-l,4-benzoxazepine — one of the very few examples of a fully unsaturated 1,4-oxazepine ring. This product is isomerized to l-ethoxy-4-hydroxy-3-phenylisoquinoline when boiled in methanol. The 4,l-benzoxazepine-2,5-diones (348) are converted to quinazolines by reaction with ammonia. The dihydro-l,4-oxazepin-5-one (343) can be acetylated at nitrogen and bromi-nated at the 6-position. 

Reaction of 4-hydroximino-l//,3//-quinazolin-2-one (353) or 2-ethoxy-carbonylaminobenzamidoxime (356) with alkyl or arylisocyanates followed by thermal cyclization gave 355 (81 KGS 1264). 

Depending upon the reaction conditions, 2-ethoxy-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropy-ridine and isopropylidene 2-acetylmalonate afforded either perhydropy-rido[2,l-h][l,3]oxazine-2,4-dione (162) or hexahydropyrido[2,l-b][l,3]ox-azine-3-carboxylic acid (163) (86MI1). Reaction of 2-methoxy-3,4,5, 6-tetrahydropyridine with diketene without a solvent gave a mixture of 4H-quinazolin-4-one (164) and hexahydropyrido[2,l-h][l,3]oxazin-4-one (165) [75H(3)927]. 

Amidines 9 with an appropriate ortho-carbonyl substituent, which are obtained from the respective ortho-carbonyl aniline derivatives and 0-ethyl succinimide (5-ethoxy-4,5-dihydro-3//-pyrrol-2-one), are cyclized with sodium in alcohol to quinazolin-4(3// )-ones 10a and quinazolines 10b with a 2-[(alkoxycarbonyl)ethyl] substituent at C2. The reaction can also be carried out starting from anthranilates or 2-aminophenyl ketones as a simple one-pot synthesis. ... 

Reactions of piperazine-2,5-diones with phosphorus pentachloride and phosphorus pentabromide have been described in Sections V.ID and V.IF, respectively. Aromatic aldehydes condense with 3-methylpiperazine-2,5-dione in the presence of acetic anhydride to form mainly mono-A -acetyl derivatives of trans-3-arylidene-6-methylpiperazine-2,5-diones (e.g., 96, R = Ac) (1066). In these products the acetyl group was shown to be attached to position 1 and the 4,5-amide group was found to be sterically hindered. Photolysis formed the cis isomers. Both isomers were deacetylated with methanolic potassium hydroxide (1066). Condensation of 1,4-diacetylpiperazine-2,5-diones with aldehydes has been applied to the synthesis of unsymmetrical 3,6-diarylidenepiperazine-2,5-diones and the reaction has been extended to l,4-diacetyl-3,6-dimethylpiperazine-2,5-diones (1624). Treatment of (96, R = H) with triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate in dichloromethane gave the monoimino ether, 5-benzylidene-6-ethoxy-3-hydroxy-2-methyl-2,5-dihydropyrazine (97) (1066). l-Methylpiperazine-2,5-dione similarly treated gave 5-ethoxy-l-methyl-2-oxo-l,2,3,6-tetrahydropyrazine (which was condensed with anthranilic acid at 150° to 2-methyl-l,2-dihydropyrazino[2,l-fi]quinazoline-3(4/0.6-dione (98) (1625), and l,4-dimethylpiperazine-2,5-dione gave 5-ethoxy-l,4-dimethyl-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrazine and 5,5-diethoxy-l,4-dimethylpiperazin-2-one (1626). 

Quinazolin-4(3//)-ones are not readily degraded by reagents in alkaline media because they form stable anions. However, if the tautomeric hydrogen is substituted, then the heterocyclic ring becomes susceptible to cleavage. Two such examples are 3-propadienylquinazolin-4-one (33) and l-acetyl-2-(a-ethoxy-a-phenyl)benzylquinazolin-4-one (34). When the former compound was boiled for 2 hours with sodium in 96% ethanol, nucleophilic attack at C-2 occurred and 2-(2-formamidophenyl)-5-methyloxazole was formed by a subsequent reaction of the olefinic side chain. The second...
