Abstract
Diethyl 2-[(dimethylamino)methylene]-3-oxopentanedioate (2), prepared from acetone- 1,3-dicarboxylates (1) and N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (DMFDMA) was, without isolation, transformed by treatment with guanidine hydrochloride into ethyl 2-amino-4-(2-ethoxycarbonylmethyl)-pyrimidine-5-carboxylate (3). Compound 3 was transformed with DMFDMA first into intermediate 4 and with an excess of DMFDMA into ethyl 4-[l-(dimethylamino)-3-ethoxy-3-oxoprop-1-en-2-yl]-2-[(dimethylamino)methyle neamino]pyrimidine-5-carboxylate (5). By treatment of compound 5 with ammonia, primary amines, hydrazine or hydroxylamine intermediates 6a-j were formed, which cyclized into 6-substituted 2-amino-5-oxo-5,6-dihydropyrido[4,3-d]pyridine-8- carboxylates (7a-j).
