Abstract

The reaction of a 2-[(dimethylamino)methyleneamino]pteridine, two 2-[(di-methylamino)methyleneamino]pyrimidines, and a 2-[(dimethylamino)methylene-amino]pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine with trimethylsilylethynylithium in the presence of benzyl chloroformate leads to the corresponding 2-[bis(trimethylsilylethynyl)-methylamino]-substituted heterocycles. A series of such substrates was prepared
and some of the factors which permit this transformation were delineated. An
X-ray crystal structure was determined of one of the products – 2-[bis(trimethyl-
silylethynyl)methylamino]-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-3-(2,2-dimethylpropanoyloxymethyl)-
quinazolin-4-one.
