Benzannulation of 5-methyl-7-phenyl-4,7-dihydrotetrazooo[ 1,5-a]pyrimidine with chalcones and their synthetic equivalents as a method for the synthesis of tetrazolo[5,1-b]quinazolines

摘要

Derivatives of tetrahydrotetrazolo[5,1-b]quinazolines were synthesized by the reactions of 5-methyl-7-phenyl-4,7-dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine with α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds and their synthetic equivalents in methanol in the presence of sodium methoxide. The spontaneous or specifically target oxidation of these derivatives gives rise to aromatic tetrazoloquinazolines. The reaction pathways and mechanisms were discussed. The structures of the resulting compounds were confirmed by IR and ~1H NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis.
