摘要:
2,3-Bis(1-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl) methyl-3-oxopropionate is a key intermediate in the synthesis of a new family of LY333531 analogues. Base-mediated cyclocondensation with thiourea afforded novel 5,6-bis(1-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-2-thioxo-2,3-dihydropyrimidin-4(1H)-one, which was efficiently converted to the pyrimidin-2,4(1H,3H)-dione congener. Synthesis of a six-membered K-252c analogue, 5,6-bis(1-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)pyrimidin-4(3H)-one, is also described. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
