Abstract

Electron rich 6-[(dimethylamino)methylene]aminouracil 1, undergoes [4+2] cycloaddition reactions with various electron deficient substrates to give pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidines and pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines, after elimination of dimethylamine from the (1:1) cycloadducts and oxidative aromatisation. The reaction gives excellent yields when carried out under microwave irradiation under solvent-free conditions.

Key words

N-sulfonylimines - pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines - pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidines - quinones - coumarins

Typical Reaction under Thermal Conditions: To a solution of 6-[(dimethylamino)methylene]amino-1,3-dimethyl uracil (1; 0.210 g, 1 mmol) in dry DMF (15 mL), sulfonylimine 2a (Ar1 = p-ClC6H4, Ar2 = p-MeC6H4, 0.298 g, 1 mmol) was added and the resulting mixture allowed to reflux for 4 h (monitored by TLC). After completion of the reaction, the DMF was distilled off from the reaction mixture under reduced pressure. The crude product was extracted with EtOAc (2 × 20 mL), washed with H2O and the combined organic phases were dried over anhyd Na2SO4 and subjected to column chromatography to afford the corresponding pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidine 3a in 70% yield, mp 199-200 °C, recrystallised from EtOAc-petroleum ether (40-60 °C) (1:3).
Typical Reaction under Microwave Irradiations: Equi-molar quantities of 6[(dimethylamino)methylene]amino-1,3-dimethyl uracil (1; 0.210 g, 1 mmol), and sulfonylimine 2a (0.298 g, 1 mmol) were mixed together in the reaction vessel of the microwave reactor (Synthwave 402 Monomod Reactor from Prolabo) and allowed to react under micro-wave irradiation at 60% power for 4.5 min. The temperature was not allowed to increase above 110 °C. The automatic mode stirrer helps in mixing and uniform heating of the reactants. After completion (monitored by TLC), the reaction vessel was cooled to r.t. and the crude product was extracted with EtOAc (3 × 20 mL) and washed with H2O. The combined organic phases were dried over anhyd Na2SO4 and subjected to column chromatography to afford the corresponding pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidine, mp 199-200 °C in 98% yield. Analytical data of 3a (whitish solid): IR (KBr): 1698, 1645 (C=O), 1610 (C=N), 1168 cm-1 (S=O). 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ = 8.82 (s, 1 H, CH=N-), 7.51-7.90 (m, 6 H, ArH), 7.36 (d, 2 H, ArH), 6.23 (s, 1 H, H-5), 3.48 (s, 3 H, NCH3), 3.20 (s, 3 H, NCH3), 2.46 (s, 3 H, CH3). 13C NMR: δ = 21.00, 27.02, 29.01, 58.55, 90.86, 121.62, 124.22, 126.32, 128.51, 128.68, 140.96, 147.88, 150.98, 151.96, 161.21. MS: m/z = 458 (M+). Anal. Calcd for C21H19N4O4S: C, 55.02; H, 4.14; N, 12.22%. Found: C, 55.11; H, 4.22; N, 12.32%. Similarly, pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidines 3b-h were prepared and characterised.

Typical Procedure under Thermal Conditions: To a solution of 6-[(dimethylamino)methylene]amino-1,3-dimethyluracil (1; 0.210 g, 1 mmol) in nitrobenzene (10 mL) was added coumarin 7a (0.146 g, 1 mmol) and the mixture was allowed to reflux for 5 h (monitored by TLC). After completion of the reaction, nitrobenzene was distilled off from the reaction mixture under reduced pressure. Then it was extracted with CHCl3 (2 × 20 mL) and washed with H2O. The organic layer was dried over anhyd Na2SO4 and then subjected to column chromatography to give the pure product 8a in 80% yield. Similarly pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines 8b-c and 6a-c were prepared and characterised.
