Abstract—The reaction of 2-imino-2,5-dihydrofuran-3-carboxamides with benzaldehyde in pentan-1-ol in the presence of piperidine gave new dihydrofuran derivatives with a fused pyrimidine ring and two phenyl rings, 2-phenyl-5-(2-phenylethylidene)-5,6-dihydrofuro[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones. The product structure was confirmed by spectroscopic methods (1H and 13C NMR) and independent synthesis from previously reported 2-imino-5,5-dimethyl-4-(2-phenylethenyl)-2,5-dihydrofuran-3-carboxamide and benzaldehyde under similar conditions. Keywords: 2-imino-2,5-dihydrofuran-3-carboxamide, benzaldehyde, 2-phenyl-5-(2-phenylethylidene)-5,6-dihydrofuro[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one

DOI: 10.1134/S1070428020100280 Both natural and synthetic compounds containing a 2-oxo- or 2-imino-2,5-dihydrofuran ring possess a wide range of practically important properties, the most valuable of which is their diverse biological activity such as antibacterial, antibiotic, antiviral, carcinolytic, etc. [1, 2].

The reactions of 1a–1c with benzaldehyde (2) were carried out by heating the reactants at a ratio of 1:2 in boiling pentan-1-ol in the presence of piperidine for 30 min. As a result, we isolated compounds containing two phenyl rings and a fused pyrimidine ring, 2-phenyl-5-(2-phenylethylidene)-5,6-dihydrofuro[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones 3a–3c (Scheme 1). This reaction pathway was expected since both 4-methyl group conjugated with the C=C double bond and C=NH moiety are active centers in molecules 1a–1c. Similar reactions in the iminocoumarin series were reported previously [7].

It is known that the methyl group in 2-oxo- and 2-imino-4-methyl-2,5-dihydrofurans is activated due to conjugation with the C=C double bond and is capable of reacting with aldehydes [3–5]. In continuation of our studies in the field of synthesis of new iminodihydrofuran derivatives, herein we report the reaction of 5,5-dialkyl-2-imino-4-methyl-2,5-dihydrofuran-3-carboxamides 1a–1c [6] with benzaldehyde. Compounds 1a–1c are polyfunctional unsaturated γ-imino lactones, so that different reaction directions are possible.

The structure of 3a–3c was confirmed by 1H and 13 C NMR spectra and elemental analyses. The 1H NMR spectra of 3a–3c showed signals at δ 3.60 and 6.25 ppm for protons of the CH2 and CH groups, and
