“…Interestingly, the resonance signals of protons of H-7 and H-9 in all N-(benzyl)-2-hydroxy-8-methyl-4-oxo-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxamides (5a-n) change places compared to those in the 1 H NMR spectrum of the starting ester (4) [20]. It is ratter difficult to give an unambiguous explanation for this fact without more research since this effect was not observed in 9-methyl substituted isomers previously studied [19]. The signals of aromatic protons of arylalkylamide fragments, as a rule, are markedly shifted upfield and focused…”
