The synthesis of 2-amino-4-hydroxy-6-amyl-1,3,5-triazanaphthalene (8) is described as a model sequence pertinent to preparation of 8-deazafolic acid and its analogs. Condensation of 2-acet-amido-4-hydroxy-6-pyrimidinealdehyde (3) with dimethyl 2-oxoheptylphosphonate afforded 1-(2′-acetamido-4′-hydroxy-6′-pyrimidinyl)-1-octene-3-one (4) as a key intermediate. Conversion of 4 to 1-(2′-amino-4′-hydroxy-5′ -phenylazo-6′ pyrimidinyl)-3-octanone (7) followed by reductive cyclization yielded 8 or its tetrahydro derivative (9). |
