Abstract
A series of naphthopyran derivatives 3a-f were prepared. Reaction of 2-amino-4-(p-chlorophenyl)-7-methoxy-4H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyran-3-carbonitrile (3b) with Ac2O afforded two products, 2-acetylamino-7-methoxy-4-(p-chlorophenyl)-4H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyran-3-carbonitrile (4) and 10, 11-dihydro-3 -methoxy-9-methyl-12-(p-chlorophenyl)-12H-naphtho [2,1-b]pyran[2,3-d]pyrimi dine-11-one (5) and treatment of 3b with benzoyl chloride gave the pyranopyrimidin-11-one derivative 6. While treatment of 3b with formamide afforded 11-amino-3 -methoxy-12-(p-chl orophenyl)-12H-naphtho [2,1-b] pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine (7). Reaction of 3b with triethyl orthoformate gave the corresponding 2-ethoxymethyleneamino-7-methoxy-4-(p-chlorophenyl)-4H-naphtho-[2,1-b] pyran-3-carbonitrile (8). Hydrazinolysis of 8 in EtOH at room temperature yielded 10-amino-10,11-dihydro-11-imino-3-methoxy-12-(p-chlorophenyl)-12H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine (9), while aminolysis of 8 with methylamine or dimethylamine gave the corresponding pyranopyrimidine and N,N-dimethylaminomethylene derivatives 10 and 11. Condensation of 9 with some carboxylic acid derivatives afforded triazolopyrimidine derivatives 12-16, while reaction of 9 with benzaldehyde gave 10-benzalamino-10,11dihydro-11-imino-3 -methoxy-12-(p-chlorophenyl)12H-naphtho [2,1-b]pyrano [2,3-d] pyrimidine (17). The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by spectral data. The synthesized compounds were also screened for their antimicrobial activity.
