The reaction of 2-formyl-3-(dimethylamino) propenenitrile 1 with subst
ituted urea give 2-cyano-3-ureido-acrylate 2, which is cyclized under
alkaline conditions to yield 5-formyl-4-amino-3-alkyl-2-oxopyrimidine
derivatives 3. Treatment of 3 with various substituted hydrazides furn
ish the corresponding hydrazones 4a-w. Further, the reaction of 3 with
ethyl cyanoacetate in the presence of acetic acid afford desired pyri
dopyrimidine 5.
