Synthesis and structure of hydrazones obtained by the reaction of 2-[6-methyl-2,4-dioxo-1-(thietan-3-yl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidin-3-yl]acetic acide hydrazide with β-dicarbonyl compounds

Abstract

Reaction of 2-[6-methyl-2,4-dioxo-1-(thietan-3-yl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidin-3-yl]acetic acid hydrazide with β-dicarbonyl compounds proceeds regioselectively; the structure of the formed hydrazones is governed by the structure of the β-dicarbonyl reaction component. The reaction with acetyl- and propionylacetone afforded 3-[2-(5-alkyl-3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-2-oxoethyl]-6-methyl-1-(thietan-3-yl)pyrimidin-2,4(1H,3H)-diones, with aroylacetones, 5-hydroxypyrazoline derivatives which are present in DMSO solutions in E′ conformation with respect to the amide bond. The condensation products with acetoacetic acid derivatives have a linear structure and consist of mixtures of E,Z- and E′,Z′-isomers owing to the geometric and conformational isomerism.
