“…Pyrimidinic monoamines are versatile precursors for the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds of higher complexity . For example, 6‐amino‐2‐(methylthio)pyrimidin‐4(3 H )‐one 2 and 6‐amino‐3‐methyl‐2‐(methylthio)pyrimidin‐4(3 H )‐one 3 have been used as a essential unit for the synthesis of new pyrrolopyrimidines , pyridopyrimidines and pyrimidoquinolines . On the basis of the aforementioned reports, we performed the synthesis of new pyrimidoquinolines 4a , 4b , 4c , 4d , 5a , 5b , 5c , 5d and their oxidized forms 6a , 6b , 6c , 6d , 7a , 7b , 7c , 7d according to the procedure described in Scheme .…”
