New 3-aryl-6-methylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-diones and 3-aryl-6-ethyl-7-thioxo-7,8-dihydropyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazin-5(6H)-ones were efficiently synthesized via a regiospecific one-pot reaction of N-methylbarbituric acid and N -ethyl-2-thiobarbituric acid with various arylglyoxal monohydrates in the presence of hydrazine dihydrochloride in ethanol at 50◦C. The target compounds were obtained in high yields and were regioisomerically pure after recrystallization. These new heterocycles may act as potential MAO B inhibitors. |
