“…Among various derivatives of [1,3,5]triazin‐4‐ones, pyrido[1,2‐ a ]‐1,3,5‐triazin‐4‐ones have been rarely studied and only a few relevant reports were documented, whereas they were used as key structures in DNA oligomers . The traditional methods for the synthesis of diversely substituted pyrido[1,2‐ a ]‐1,3,5‐triazin‐4‐ones constituted the reaction of N ‐fluoropyridinium salts with cyanate ion and carbonitriles, the reaction of 2‐amino‐pyridine with ortho ‐ester and trimethylsilyl isocynante or with ethoxycarbonyl isothiocyanate and mercury(II) salt,, and the reaction of 2‐amino‐pyridine with N ‐Benzyloxycarbonyl‐2,2,2‐trifluoroacetimidoyl chloride . However, the above synthetic approaches suffered from multistep reaction procedures, low efficiency and poor regioselectivity, or the necessity of pre‐functionalized starting materials.…”
