We report simple and efficient synthesis of novel fused bicyclic heterocyclic compounds 3 using bis (methylthio) methylene malononitrile 1 and thiourea 2 with potassium carbonate in DMF at reflux condition. The molar ratios of these substrates are 2:1 for the preparation of 2,6-dihydro-2,6-diimino-4,8-bis(methylthio) pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazine- 3,7-dicarbonitrile. This newly synthesized pyrimido thiazine acts as bis-electrophilic species reacting with various nucleophiles yielding 2,6-dihydro-2,6-diimino-4,8-(disubstituted)-pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazine-3,7-dicarbonitrile in good yields.

In recent years, the synthesis of fused bicyclic heterocyclic compounds possessing pyrimido-thiazine central core has been the focus of great interest. This type of compounds shows various biological properties such as antibacterial, antiallergic, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, phsphodiesterase inhibition and antiparkinsonism [1-6], many workers have synthesized different 1, 3-thiazines [7,8]. Thiazines are very useful units in the fields of medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry and have been reported to exhibit a variety of biological activities [9,10]. Recently, substituted thiazine are prepared using α, β- unsaturated carbonyl system and that are very versatile substrates for the evolution of various reactions [11] and physiologically active compounds [12]. The reaction of thiourea with α,β- unsaturated system (Michael acceptor) results in 1,3 thiazine [13,14]. It has been well focused that the presence of pyrimido-thiazine with various chemically reactive moieties is an important structural feature and also substituted imino group present in thiazine ring, and the resulting molecule would exhibit promising biological activities in continuation of our work [15-21]. In the present study, we synthesize pyrimido-thiazine containing more reactive functional groups using thiourea and bis methylthio methylene malanonitrile which is used for further cyclisation and derivatization. The synthesized compounds act as bis-electrophilic species reacting with various nucleophiles such as substituted aromatic amines, aromatic phenol, various active methylene compound and alicyclic heterocyclic compound construct 2,6-dihydro-2,6-diimino- 4,8-disubstitutedpyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazine-3,7-dicarbonitrile in good yields.
Melting points were determined by open capillary tubes and were uncorrected. The silica gel F254 plates were used for thin layer chromatography (TLC) in which the spots were examined under UV light and then developed by an iodine vapor. Column chromatography was performed with silica gel (BDH 100-200 mesh). Solvents were purified according to standard procedures. The spectra were recorded with the following instruments; IR: Perkin-Elmer RX1 FTIR spectrophotometer; NMR: Varian Gemini 200 MHz (1H) and 50 MHz (13C) spectrometer; ESIMS: VG-Autospec micromass. Elemental analysis was performed on a Heraeus CHN-O rapid analyzer.
General procedure for the synthesis 2,6-dihydro-2,6-diimino- 4,8-bis(methylthio)pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazine-3,7-dicarbonitrile (3)
A mixture of (methylthio) methylene malanonitrile (1) (2 mmol) and thiourea (2) (1 mmol) in DMF and anhydrous potassium carbonate (10 mg) was refluxed for 12 hours on oil bath. The reaction was monitored by TLC. After completion, the reaction mixture was cooled at room temperature then washed with water (3×10 mL) and subsequently extracted with ethyl acetate (3×10 mL). The extract was concentrated and the residue was subjected to column chromatography (silica gel, n-hexane- ethyl acetate 8:2) to obtain pure solid compound 3. The compound 3 confirmed by IR, 1H and 13C NMR and MS analytical data compound is given below.
