Quinoline and pyrimidine are well-known moieties, which appear in various natural and synthetic products. Furthermore, quinoline-pyrimidine-inspired hybrids are known to have several biological properties. In addition, many pyrimido[4,5-b]quinolinone ring systems, specifically concerning medicinal chemistry, have been reported over the past decade. This review depicts the synthesis of pyrimido[4, 5-b] quinolones (PyQs4,5-b) through 6-aminopyrimidin-4-(thi)one derivatives. The preparation of PyQs4,5-b was clarified through the following chemical reactions: Vilsmeier-Haack formylation, Hantzsch-like reaction, and one-pot three-component reaction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
