Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

Abstract

7-Aminotheophylline reacts with acetone and acetophenone in the presence of anhydrous zinc chloride, forming 1,3,6,8-tetramethyl- and 6,8-dimethyl-1,3-diphenylpyrido[6,1-f]xanthines, respectively. 9-Aminotheophylline gives an analogous reaction product with acetone. The use of acetylacetone affords 4-acetyl-1,3,6,8-tetramethylpyrido[6,1-f]xanthine.
