Synthesis of reagents

Recently we have developed new reagents for one-pot annelations of pyrimidine moieties to ortho-amino-(hetero)aromatic esters and nitriles [1,2]; examples for these so-called BMMA (Bis-methylthiomethyleneamino)-reagents are depicted below: C1-Reagent
[3-6]


Extensions to new types of reagents


Cyclic BMMA-type reagents: The reagents A-D used for anellations are readily obtainable from functionalized alkylamines:
