Depending upon reaction conditions, 4,5‐diaminopyrimidine and acetoacetic ester gave a variety of condensation products, including the two isomeric dihydropyrimido[4,5‐ b ][1,4]‐diazepinones. Under conditions leading to bicyclic products, the formation of 1,5‐dihydro‐4‐methyl‐2 H ‐pyrimido[4,5‐ b ][1,4]diazepin‐2‐one ( 2 ) was strongly favored. The isomeric 3,5‐dihydro‐2‐methyl‐4 H ‐4‐one compound ( 4 ) was best obtained by cyclization of ethyl 3‐(4‐amino‐5‐pyrimidylamino)crotonate ( 3 ) under base catalysis. Thermal rearrangement of 2 and 4 proceeded, in each instance, with loss of the isopropenyl moiety and gave 8‐purinone. Compound 4 underwent ring contraction under the influence of alkoxide to yield a product which was shown to be the 7‐isopropenyl‐8‐purinone ( 6 ).
