A deconstruction-reconstruction strategy for pyrimidine diversification is presented, enabling the transformation of pyrimidine-containing compounds into various nitrogen heteroaromatics. By converting pyrimidines into N-arylpyrimidinium salts, a three-carbon iminoenamine building block is obtained, which can be used in heterocycle-forming reactions. This approach allows the formation of heterocycles such as azoles and provides access to complex molecule analogues that are difficult to obtain through other methods. The strategy involves breaking down complex pyrimidines into simpler intermediates and then reconstructing them into new heterocycles through cyclization reactions. This method is valuable for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies, as it enables the optimization of physiochemical properties of drug and agrochemical candidates. The process involves ring-opening and ring-closing reactions, which generate a variety of pyrimidinium salts and 1,2-azoles. The study also demonstrates the application of this strategy to biologically active molecules, such as the fungicide fenarimol and the cancer drug dabrafenib, leading to the synthesis of diverse analogues. Computational studies support the mechanism of pyrimidine ring-opening, showing that the reaction pathway is influenced by steric and electronic effects of substituents. The strategy has potential applications in the synthesis of various heterocycles and could be extended to other heterocycle classes. The method is efficient and allows for the rapid generation of chemical libraries, making it a promising approach for drug and agrochemical development.A deconstruction-reconstruction strategy for pyrimidine diversification is presented, enabling the transformation of pyrimidine-containing compounds into various nitrogen heteroaromatics.
