In this paper, a synthetic method for naphthylazuleno[2,1-d]pyrimidin-4-amines was reported, which began from cheap tropolone, ethyl naphthaleneacetate, malononitrile N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (DMF-DMA) and anilines, followed by chlorination, condensation, cyclization and then Dimroth rearrangement reaction, to give naphthylazuleno[2,1-d]pyrimidin-4-amines in moderate yields. The structures of synthesized compounds were determined by 1 H NMR, IR spectra and elemental analysis. This method provides several advantages such as good yield and simple work-up procedure.
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.
