An expedient synthesis of novel, fused pyrimido[4,5‐d]pyrimidine and pyrimido [5,4‐e] [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐c]pyrimidine analogues from 4‐amino‐2,6‐dichloro‐pyrimidine

A number of potent pyrimido[4,5‐d]pyrimidine have efficiently been synthesized by the condensation of 4‐amino‐2,6‐dichloropyrimidine with various substituted benzaldehyde followed by cyclization with ammonium thiocyanate. Also, these newly synthesized derivatives were utilized for the construction of novel pyrimido[5,4‐e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐c]pyrimidine analogues via oxidative cyclization involving 1,5‐hydrogen ion. Structure of all the newly constructed derivatives was corroborated by the elemental and spectral data. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
