“…A variety of the alkyl residues was introduced in the last step of the synthetic route – the diazepine ring closure with various primary aliphatic amines. First, methyl 1,3‐dimethyl‐2,4‐dioxo‐2,3,4,7‐tetrahydro‐1 H ‐pyrrolo[2,3‐ d ]pyrimidine‐6‐carboxylate 1 was converted into 8‐(bromomethyl)‐2 H ‐pyrimido[5′,4′:4,5]pyrrolo[2,1‐ c ][1,4]oxazine 3 according to the previously described methods (Muzychka et al, 2012; Yaremchuk et al, 2018). Upon a brief heating of compound 3 with sodium methoxide in methanol, it was transformed into methyl 1,3‐dimethyl‐7‐(oxiran‐2‐ylmethyl)‐2,4‐dioxo‐2,3,4,7‐tetrahydro‐1 H ‐pyrrolo[2,3‐ d ]pyrimidine‐6‐carboxylate 4 .…”
