6-alkenyl and ethynyl derivatives of 2-amino-4-hydroxypyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines

Abstract

2-Amino-4-hydroxy-6-[2-(4-carboxyphenyl)alk-1-en-1-yl]pyrido[2,3,-d]pyrimid ines and 2-amino-4-hydroxy-6-[2-(4-carboxyphenyl)alk-1-yn-1-yl]pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimid ines are prepared through the reaction of a halo-aromatic compound and an unsaturated compound in the prosence of a palladium catalyst. The products are chemical intermediates for the preparation of antineo-plastic agents. A typical embodiment is the reaction of a protected 2-amino-4-hydroxy-6-ethynylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine and an ester of 4-iodobenzoic acid.
