Abstract
The cyclization of 5,6-diarylpyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-2,4-diones containing a halogen atom in the ortho-position of one of the aryl rings, proceeding as intramolecular C–H arylation catalyzed by Ru(II) complexes, was studied. It was found that complexes Ru(NHC)(cymene)Cl2, where NHC = IPr [1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene], IMes [1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene], and their derivatives containing substituents at positions 4 and 5 of the imidazole ring, exhibit high catalytic activity. Based on the reaction studied, new representatives of pyrimido[5',4':3,4]pyrrolo[1,2-f]phenanthridine were obtained.
