“…In the last decade, the synthesis of aminoethyl functionalized heterocycles has represented an important part of our research studies. Within this context, we have been so far focused on the synthesis of two types of 2-(heteroaryl) ethylamines: a) the open-chain analogues of histamine, 1, [10][11][12][13] and bicyclic conformationally constrained analogues of histamine, 2-4, [14][15][16] and b) 2-substituted 6-(5-oxo-1phenylpyrrolidin-3-yl)pyrimidine-5-carboxamides, 5, as 2aminoethyl-functionalized pyrimidines [17]. In continuation, we have focused our attention on 2-substituted 6-(5-oxo-1phenylpyrrolidin-3-yl)pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones, 6, as novel type of 2-aminoethyl-functionalized pyrimidines (Scheme 1).…”
