Pl. Ferrarini et al., Condensation of substituted 2-aminopyridine with beta-ketocarboxylic esters: 4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones and pyridin-2-ones, J HETERO CH, 36(5), 1999, pp. 1123-1127
We report the condensation of substituted 2-aminopyridines 5 with beta-keto
carboxylic esters in polyphosphoric acid. In this reaction were obtained to
gether with the target compounds, 4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones 6 also t
he pyridin-2-ones 7. All the compounds 7 were tested for their calcium-anta
gonistic activity but failed to evoke any vasorelaxant response.
