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 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 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...
