Novel Synthesis of Condensed Pyridin-2(1H)-one and Pyrimidine Derivatives

The reaction of N-chloroacetyl derivatives 6-10 with morpholine yielded N-morpholin-1-yl acetyl derivatives 11-15 , which were subjected to Thorpe-Zieler cyclization with sodium tert -butoxide to produce the corresponding condensed pyridin-2(1H)-one derivatives 16-20 . Treatment of compounds 1 , 6-10 with either malononitrile or p -chlorobenzylidinemalononitrile in presence of triethylamine, afforded the corresponding pyrimidines 21-25 , 27 and pyridine derivative 26 respectively. Moreover compound 1 a was treated with ethyl isothiocyanoacetate to give the corresponding piprazine derivative 28 .
