5-(p-Anisyl)-2-methyl-7-(p-tolyl)-4 (H) under bar-pyrido[2,3-d][1,3]ox
azin-4-one (III) was prepared. The reactivity of III towards nucleophi
lic reagents was investigated. 5-(p-Anisyl)-2-methyl-7-(p-tolyl)-4 (H)
under bar-pyrido[2,3-(d) under bar]pyrimidin-4-one(VI) was synthesise
d from III by the action of ammonium acetate and zinc chloride. The st
ructure of VI was chemically confirmed by reactions with acetic anhydr
ide, benzoyl chloride, chloroacetic acid, methyl iodide, dimethyl sulp
hate and ethyl bromoacetate. Compound (VI) reacted with secondary and
primary amines under Mannich conditions to afford 5-(p-anisyl)-2-methy
l-3-methylene substituted amino-7-(p-tolyl)-4 (H) under bar-pyrido[2,3
-(d) under bar]pyrimidin-4-ones (XIV) and (XV), respectively. Thiation
of VI gave the thione 5-(p-anisyl)-2-methyl-7-(p-tolyl)-4 (H) under b
ar-pyrido[2,3-(d) under bar]pyrimidin-4-thione (XIX).
