Abstract
The selective N- or O-alkylation of 4-(trihalomethyl)pyrimidin-2(1H)-ones, using 5-bromo enones/enaminones as alkylating agents, is reported. It was found that the selectivity toward the N- or O-regioisomer is driven by the substituent present at the 6-position of the pyrimidine ring, thus enabling the preparation of each isomer as the sole product, in 60-95% yields. Subsequent cyclocondensation of the enaminone moiety with nitrogen dinucleophiles led to pyrimidine-azole conjugates in 55-83% yields.
