Abstractmagnified imageAcylation of 2‐amino‐4‐(benzyloxy)‐6‐(methylamino)‐5‐nitrosopyrimidine (5) with acetic anhydride or chloroacetic anhydride in the presence of 4‐(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP) led to the C(2)‐acylamino derivatives 6 and 7, respectively. In the absence of a base, acetylation did not lead to a product, while chloroacetylation led to the 6‐chloropteridine 11. Chloroacetylation in the presence of Hünig's base provided the pteridinone N(5)‐oxide 10, suggesting that acylation of 5 is readily reversible, and that the unfavourable equilibrium must be displaced by a follow‐up reaction to trap the acylation product. Acylation of 5 with hexadienoyl chloride, followed by intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction, provided the pteridinone 12. A high yielding 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition of the acylnitrone 10 to electron‐poor and electron‐rich dipolarophiles, followed by spontaneous N,O‐bond cleavage, gave the C(6)‐substituted pteridinones 19a–19e that were deprotected to the pteridine‐4,7(3H,8H)‐diones 20a–20e. Substitution of the 6‐chloropterin 11 provided the 6‐morpholinopteridine 25. Sonogashira coupling yielded the fluorescent [(pteridin‐6‐yl)ethynyl]‐glucopyranoside 26, 6‐ethynylpteridine 28, and 6,6′‐(ethynediyl)bispteridine 29. The alkyne 28 reacted with Me3SiCl and LiBr in MeCN to produce the bromoalkene 31.
