(11) General procedure for the preparation of zwitterionic com-
pounds 2 and 3: A solution of 0.5 g (1.52 mmol) 1 and 3.04
mmol of the corresponding diamine in toluene was heated
for 5 min. Cooling the mixture yielded colorless crystals,
which were purified by recrystallization from ethanol.
(12) General procedure for the preparation of [1,3]oxazolo[3,4-
a]pyrimidin-6-one derivatives 4 and [1,3]oxazolo[3,4-
a][1,3]diazepin-7-one derivatives 5 using phenylisocyanate:
The corresponding zwitterionic compound 2 or 3 (1 mmol)
was dissolved in toluene at 100 °C and 2 mmol of phenyl
isocyanate was added. The mixture was heated under reflux
for 15 minutes. After cooling in an ice bath, the mixture was
filtered to remove the N,N -diphenylurea. Toluene was
removed under reduced pressure and the crude product was
purified by column chromatography (Al2O3, CCl4:acetone
5:1) and then crystallized from CCl4.

a][1,3]diazepine-7-thione derivatives 7:
The corresponding zwitterionic compound 2 and 3 (1 mmol)
was dissolved in 20 mL of chloroform at 0 °C, and 10 mL of
water and 2 mmol of sodium bicarbonate were added. While
stirring, 1 mmol of thiophosgene was added and the mixture
was stirred vigorously for 40 minutes. The organic phase
was then separated and evaporated under reduced pressure,
at room temperature. The crude product was purified by
column chromatography (Al2O3–CCl4: acetone 5:1) and then
crystallized from CCl4.

(14) Physical data: Melting points were determined on an
electrothermal IA9000 digital melting point apparatus and
are uncorrected. The IR spectra were obtained on a Bruker
IFS 48 spectrometer at room temperature. 1H and 13C NMR
spectra were recorded with a Bruker AMX 500 NMR
spectrometer using TMS as internal standard. Chemical
shifts are reported in ppm downfield from TMS.
