The reaction between 4- chloro- 6- methoxy- 5-nitropyrimidine
and methylamine was investigated. The reaction product was identified
as 4-methoxy-6-methylamino-5-nitropyrimidine from synthesis
of the product via 4-chloro-6-methylamino-5-nitropyrimidine.
The product was the result of displacement of chloro substituent with methylamine. The reaction occured under mild condition (e. g. 15-20
C. in dioxane)....
The yields from the oxidation of 4-methylpyrimidine with potassium permanganate were found to increase from 25 to 92 percent by the addition of small amount of potassium hydroxide to the reaction mixture. Pyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid decarboxylates in hot aqueous solution to yield pyrimidine and carbon dioxide. The rate is that decarboxylation...
The objectives of this study were to isolate 2, 4-diaminobutyric
acid and to attempt cyclizing the acid and its disulfonamide derivative.
The original synthetic method by Adamson was followed but a
modified isolation procedure for the acid was employed.
Following the synthesis, the acidic solution was passed through
Dowex-3 ion-exchange...
This thesis investigated on the dehalogenation of 2, 4-
dichloropyrimidine in various different conditions. These conditions
were changed by varying the solvents, the amount of catalysts and
the hydrogen chloride acceptors in order to study the effects on the
yields.
It was found that the ether-aqueous sodium hydroxide medium
with...
The object of this study is the synthesis of trans-cyclopentane-1, 2-dicarboxylic acid. Five procedures designed for the synthesis of
this trans diacid are described in the literature. The procedure
devised by Perkin in 1887, Fuson and Cole in 1938, and by Brenner
in 1961 were investigated to determine which of...
Since many 1, 4, 5, 6-tetrahydropyrimidines have become available
and commercially useful in recent years, a study of the chemistry
of certain of these compounds has been undertaken.
2-Hydroxy- and 2-mercapto-1, 4, 5, 6-tetrahydropyrimidine
have been synthesized by the condensation of urea and thiourea, respectively,
with 1, 3-propanediamine, with yields...
In 1959 Kitagawa discovered and isolated the amino acid,
canavanine. Since its discovery much interest has been centered on
this amino acid because of its biological aspects; e.g. canavanine has
been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and
cancer cells.
The occurrence of canavanine is widespread in...
