Pteridine. Teil LXXXI. Mechanismus der Photooxidation von 5,6-Dihydro-1,3-dimethyl-6-thioxopteridin-2,4(1H,3H)-dion

Mechanism of the Photooxidation of 5,6-Dihydro-1,3-dimethyl-6-thioxopteridine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione The mechanism of the photooxidation of 5,6-dihydro-1,3-dimethyl-6-thioxopteridine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione ( 9 ) has been investigated in dependence of the pH. Photooxidation of the anion species in weak alkaline solution takes place by singlet oxygen as well as the superoxide radical anion forming 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxopteridine-6-sulfinate ( 5 ) as the first detectable reaction product. In acidic medium, a more complex photooxidation process is observed leading, in a radical-chain mechanism, to 6,6′-dithiobis[1,3-dimethylpteridine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione] ( 6 ).     

Pyrrolopyrimidines. 5. Reaction of 6-Amino-1,3-dimethylpyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones with 1,3-Diketones

The reaction of 6-amino-1,3-dimethylpyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-2,4-dione with 1,3-diketones leads to formation of predominantly pyrimido[4',5':3,4]pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones and, to a lesser extent, pyrimido[5',4':3,4]pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazine-1,3(2H,4H)-diones. The ease and direction of the cyclization reaction suggests a very -electron rich pyrrole ring in the initial state, especially in the position 7.     

Regioselective Synthesis of Heterocycles from 3-Cyclohex-2-enyl-4-hydroxy-1-methylquinolin-2-(1H)-one

Substrate 5 on sequential treatment with Ac₂O-AcONa and Br₂/AcOH followed by KOH-EtOH, however produces bicyclic product 7 in excllent overall yield. Substrate 5 reacts with 1 equivalent of m-chloroperbenzoic acid in refluxing benzene to furnish bicyclic heterocycle 12 in 80% yield and with cold conc. H₂SO₄ at 0–5°C for 2h generates the bicyclic heterocycle 14 in 90% yield.

The copper(II) complex with 3-(2-hydroxy-3-sulfo-5-nitrophenylhydrazo)pentane-2,4-dione (H₃L) is studied, and its crystal structure is studied by X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystals of [Cu(H₂O)₂]₂(μ-L)₂[Cu(H₂O)₄] (I) are triclinic (space group P \(\bar 1\)) at 100 K, a = 7.085(3), b = 10.373(5), c = 12.265(6) Å, α = 0.842(5)°, β = 104.996(6)°, γ = 99.156(6)°, Z = 1). The C=O and NH groups of hydrazone and the OH and SO₃H groups from the aromatic moiety of the molecule are involved in coordination with the copper(II) atom. In the centrosymmetric trinuclear molecule the central Cu(2) atom has the coordination number six, and the terminal Cu(1) atoms have the coordination number five. The thermal properties of complex I are studied. The complex formation of copper(II) with the H₃L ligand in an aqueous solution at temperatures 298 ± 0.5, 308 ± 0.5, and 318 ± 0.5 K is studied by potentiometric titration. The standard thermodynamic functions of the complex formation are determined.

The title compound reacted with excess piperazine to form 3,5-bis-(piperazin-1-yl) derivative, while its reaction with an equimolar amount of piperazine afforded 5,5′-(piperazin-1,4-diylbismethylene)bis[6-methyl-1-(thietan-3-yl)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione].

The reaction of 1,3-dimethylpyrimidine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-trione with various alkenes or terminal alkynes in the presence of cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) afforded the corresponding 5,6-dihydrofuro[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones or furo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones in moderate to good yields.     

A one-step preparation of pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidine ring system by reaction of 5-formyl-1,3,6-trimethyl-pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione with primary amines

For this pyridopyrimidine synthesis the following reaction pathway is proposed; the [1,5]-hydrogen shift of 1 gives a 5,6-dihydro-5,6-dimethylenepyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione intermediate. The cycloaddition reaction of the intermediate with aldimines from 1 and the primary amines affords 5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones, which are dehydrated to the final products.
