A facile synthetic route to substituted 6,8-dimethyl-3,3a,4, 5-dihydro-2H-pyrazolo[3′,4′:4,5]pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-] 7,9(6H,8H)-di-ones is described based on an intramolecular azomethine imine cyclization followed by dehydrogenation. The azomethine imine intermediates are given by the thermal 1,2-hydrogen shift of the hydrazones, which are formed from the reaction of 6-allylamino-5-formyl-1, 3-dimethyl-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinediones and hydrazines 2.
