Pyrano[4,3 d]pyrimidinium salts 4.* Transformations of 5,7 diaryl 1,3 dimethyl 2,4 dioxo 1H,3H pyrano[4,3 d]pyrimidinium bromides under the action of phenylhydrazines and aromatic acid hydrazidesReactions of 5,7 diaryl 1,3 dimethyl 2,4 dioxo 1H,3H pyrano[4,3 d]pyrimidinium bro mides with phenylhydrazines and aromatic acid hydrazides have been studied. The reaction of the salts indicated with phenylhydrazine at ~20 °C results in the pyrylium ring opening, whereas elevated temperature leads to recyclization products, i.e., 1,3 dimethylpyrido[4,3 d]pyrimidine 2,4(1H,3H) diones. The reactions of the starting bromides with m carboxyphenylhydrazine and aromatic acid hydrazides lead to 6 (R amino) 1,3 dimethyl 2,4 dioxo 1H,3H pyrido[4,3 d] pyrimidinium salts.
