Abstract

Unprecedented trisubstituted tetrahydropyrimidine-2,4-diones were easily synthesized in two steps involving Boc-amide protection and controlled ring opening, from perhydropyrazino[1,2-f]pyrimidine-3,6,8-triones. These bicyclic derivatives were prepared by reaction of 2-oxopiperazines derived from dipeptides with isocyanates, followed by cyclization. The monocyclic pyrimidinone derivatives were further elaborated to potential CCK ligands that have contributed to a better understanding of the structural requirements for efficient binding at the CCK1 receptor.

An authentic sample of compound 19b, prepared by an alternative stereospecific synthetic route, allows the unequivocal assignment of the configuration at C6 in the diastereoisomeric pairs 19a,b and 20a,b: Patiño-Molina, R.; Cubero, J.; Pérez de Vega, M.

The increased shielding (Δβ = δ19b - δ21b) was 0.36 ppm for the H-5eq and 1.67 ppm for the H-5ax.
