Rac 1,3-pentanediamine reacts with glyoxal to give a 1:1 mixture of diastereomers from which can be isolated (2R*,2'S*,4S*,4'R*)-4,4'-diethylperhydro-2,2'-bipyrimidine. Subsequent treatment with HCHO, MeCHO, EtCHO, and i-PrCHO gives cis and to a lesser extent trans fused 1:1 condensation products, which are 4a,4b-cis-3,6-diethylperhydro-4,5,8a,9a-tetraazafluorene and 4a,4b-trans-1,6-diethylperhydro-4,5,8a,9a-tetraazafluorene derivatives, or tetracyclic cis fused 1:2 condensation products, 8b,8c-cis-3,5-diethylperhydro-3a,4a,7a,8a-tetraazacyclopentano[def]- fluorenes, respectively, depending on conditions. 2-Phenylacetaldehyde reacts to give cis and trans 2-benzyl-4-ethylhexahydropyrimidine. The effects of aldehyde and solvent upon the outcome are discussed. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
