J. Barluenga et al., A SIMPLE APPROACH TO PYRIMIDINE AND QUINAZOLINE DERIVATIVES BY [4-DIAZADIENES AND ENAMINES(2] CYCLOADDITION OF 1,3), Heterocycles, 37(2), 1994, pp. 1109-1120
The reaction of 2-trimethylsilyloxy- (1) and 2-trimethylsilylthio-1,3-
diazabutadienes (2) with enamines derived from aliphatic aldehydes lea
ds regio-and stereoselectively to substituted tetrahydropyrimidin-2(1H
)-ones (3) and thiones (4) in high yields. Extension of this cycloaddi
tion to cyclic enamines, e.g. derived from cyclohexanone, leading to q
uinazoline derivatives (9-10) is also described. These heterocycles un
dergo hydrolysis and dehydration to 3,4-dihydropyrimidine (7-8) and 3,
4,5,6,7,8-hexahydroquinazoline (11-12) derivatives.
