Reactions of 5 aryl and 5,7 diaryl 1,3 dimethyl 2,4 dioxopyrano[4,3 d]pyrimidinium salts with hydrazine were studied. In the former case, the reaction products were the 6 amino 1,3 dimethyl 2,4 dioxopyrido[4,3 d]pyrimidinium salts. 5,7 Diarylpyrano[4,3 d]pyrimidinium salts were transformed into either the corresponding pyridinium salts or 1H pyrimido [5,4 d][1,2]diazepine 2,4(3H,9H) diones, depending on the hydrazine concentration and the reaction time. Key words: pyrano[4,3 d]pyrimidinium salts, recyclization, 6 amino 2,4 dioxopyrido [4,3 d]pyrimidinium salts, 1H pyrimido[5,4 d][1,2]diazepine 2,4(3H,9H) diones.-4, 5: R = Ar´ = Ph (a), 4 BrC 6 H 4 (b), 4 MeOC 6 H 4 (c); 5: Ar = Ph, X -= Br -Reactions of pyrano[4,3 d]pyrimidinium salts
