“…We have recently reported the unusual intramolecular cyclization of 3-(2-aminophenyl)-4-oxo-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazolines (obtained using approach 2 (vide supra) by reacting 6 { 1 , 3 } with phenylenediamine, 8 { 6 }) into methyl benzimidazo[1,2 -c ]quinazoline-6(5 H )-thione-3-carboxylates, which are of great interest as potentially biologically active substances. , In particular, the parent ester, methyl benzimidazo[1,2 -c ]quinazoline-6(5 H )-thione-3-carboxylate ( 18 ), was hydrolyzed into benzimidazo[1,2 -c ]quinazoline-6(5 H )-thione-3-carboxylic acid ( 19) . Acid 19 was then employed in the synthesis of a new benzimidazo[1,2 -c ]quinazoline-6(5 H )-thione-3-carboxamide library, 20 , − 2021222324252627282930313233343536373839404142434445464748495051525354555657585960616263646566676869707172 and S-substituted 6-mercaptobenzimidazo[1,2 -c ]quinazoline-3-carboxamide library, 21 { 1 − 48 }. Library 20 was obtained by parallel synthesis from acid 19 and various primary, 7 , and secondary, 12 , amines by the carbonyldiimidazole method.…”
