One-pot synthesis of new Pyrido [2,3-d] Pyrimidine derivatives under ultrasonic irradiation using organo catalyst 4-Dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP)

Abstract The one-pot synthesis of pyrido[2,3-d] pyrimidine derivatives has been reported via Knoevenagel-Michal addition pathways using substituted aromatic aldehydes, Cyanoacetamide and 6-aminouracil in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent, with 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) as new organo catalyst catalyst under ultrasonic irradiation. The results showed that a series of aromatic aldehydes were effectively used to prepare the targeted pyrido [2, 3-d] pyrimidine derivatives with good to excellent yields (81-93 %) with no major effect on the yield of product by electron donating/withdrawing substituents. Short reaction time, environment friendly procedure, excellent yields, inexpensive and readily available catalyst are the advantages of this procedure. All synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, 1HNMR, 13CNMR and mass spectral data.
