Abstract
Abstract We describe an efficient synthesis of 2,4-substituted pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-5(6H)-ones, which involves the acid-promoted cyclization of cyano enamine 15 to afford 2,4-bis(methylthio)pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-5(6H)-one 17 as a key intermediate. Selective displacement of the 4-methylthio group by a wide range of anilines followed by oxidation of the 2-methylthio group and subsequent substitution by amines enabled the synthesis of a variety of 2,4-disubstituted pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-5(6H)-ones.
