One-stage synthesis of condensed pyrimidines by reaction of substituted 3-(pyrimidin-5-yl)propanoic acids with ortho-diamines: Extension of limits

Resumo

By condensation of 2-aryl-substituted pyrimidin-5-ylpropanoic acids with 1,2-ethanediamine and 1,2-benzenediamine in polyphosphoric acid new derivatives of heterocyclic systems were synthesized: imidazo- and benzo[4',5']imidazo[1',2':1,6]pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines. Unlike that the reaction of substituted 2-mercaptopyrimidin-5-ylpropanoic acid with 1,2-benzenediamine in polyphosphoric acid in the presence of equimolar amount of ZnCl₂ proceeds by a tandem mechanism with the formation of 4-methyl-5,6-dihydrobenzo[4',5']imidazo[1',2':1,6]pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2-thiol and the corresponding disulfide.
