Abstract
The IEDDA reaction of diene 2-oxo-2H-pyrido[1,2-a] pyrimidin-3(4H)-ylidiene
acetic acid with various electron rich dienophiles in DMF medium yielded moderate to good
yields in the presence of Lewis acid catalyst indium (III) chloride. FT-IR, 1H NMR,
13C NMR, and Mass Spectroscopy investigations were used to characterize and confirm
the structures of all the synthesized adducts. Except for 3-butoxy-9-methyl-2,3,4,5
tetrahydropyrano[2,3-d]pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid (5) and Methyl-2-Oxo-1
Phenyl-1,2,3,3a,4,5-hexa
hydropyrazolo[1,5-b]Pyrido[1',2':1,2]Pyrimido[5,4
e][1,2]Oxazine-4-Carboxylic Acid (7) which showed 1:1 and 6:4 ratio and for other adducts
the ratio was found to be 6:1, supporting the endo rule. The analysis of the LUMO and
HOMO energies of diene and dienophiles helped to prove the IEDDA reaction pathway.
NBO charges computed using DFT techniques gave justification for the regioselectivity
provided by the reaction. The synchronous nature of the transition states and intrinsic
reaction coordinates of the reaction of diene 2-oxo-2H-pyrido[1,2-a] pyrimidin-3(4H)
ylidiene acetic acid with dienophiles butyl vinyl ether and 1-methyl-1-cyclohexene by DFT method explained the observed diastereoisomeric ratio
of 1:1 and 6:1 endo and exo ratio respectively. All synthesized compounds were tested for
antibacterial activity, which showed moderate activity, however the compound 3a-methyl
2-oxo-1-phenyl-1,2,3,3a,4,5-hexahydropyrazolo[1,5-b]pyrido[1',2':1,2]pyrimido[5,4
e][1,2]oxazine-4-carboxylic acid was shown to be more powerful in both in-silico and in
vitro investigations.
