Reaction of 6-amino-1,3-dimethyluracil (14) with the 2,4-dinitrophenyl oxime (21) of iodoacetone led to initial condensation followed by an unexpected [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement, followed in turn by ring closure to give 5-(2-hydroxy-3,5-dinitrophenyl)-1,3,6-trimethylpyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (22). 6-Methylamino-1,3-dimethyluracil under the same conditions underwent a similar sigmatropic rearrangement, but the product cyclised instead to give 1,3-dimethyl-6-methylamino-5-(2-methyl-5,7-dinitro-3-benzo[b]furanyl)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (32). A third type of product, 4-amino-6-(2-hydroxy-3,5-dinitrophenyl)-5-methyl-2-phenylfuro [2,3-d]pyrimidine (35), was obtained when 6-amino-2-phenyl-4(3H)-pyrimidinone (33) reacted with the 2,4-dinitrophenyl oxime (19) of chloroacetone in presence of potassium iodide. Mechanisms are suggested for these unusual reactions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
