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...
Although 4- and 5-diacetamidopyrimidines have been reported
in the literature within the past eleven years, it was not until 1965
that a 2-diacetamidopyrimidine was reported. The current investigation
was undertaken to determine whether other 2-diacetamidopyrimi-dines could be synthesized and what the effect of various nuclear substituents would be on the...
The formation of cytosine hydroperoxide was detected in
aqueous cytosine solutions irradiated with Co-60 γ-rays at pH 2.
The nucleotide of cytosine, cytidylic acid, forms a hydroperoxide
which was detected in neutral solution. The stability of the hydroperoxides of cytosine, thymine, and their nucleotides was found to
be a function...
Reaction of 4, 6-dimethoxy-5-nitropyrimidine [I], with refluxing
pyridine, was discovered to yield the methylpyridinium salt of
1, 6-dihydr -4-hydroxy-1-methyl-5-nitro-6-oxopyrimidine [III]. Possible
use of I as a general N-methylating agent was explored. No
appreciable reaction occurred between I and refluxing excess n-butyl
alcohol. Similar reaction involving quinoline failed to yield an...
The unique reaction between 4, 6-dimethoxy-5-nitropyrimidine
and methylhydrazine was investigated. The reaction product was
identified as 4-hydrazino-6-hydroxypyrimidine from (a) spectral
data, (b) by direct synthesis of the product via 4-chloro-6-hydroxypyrimidine
and hydrazine, and (c) by conversion of the product to
the known 4-amino-6-hydroxypyrimidine using Raney nickel. The
product was not...
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...
