“…11 Recently, a few syntheses of heterocycles from acyl isoselenocyanates have been reported. [12][13][14][15] Also, in 2011, a synthesis of functionalised pyrimido [4,5-d] pyrimidines from acyl isothiocyanates was reported. 16 Herein, we describe a synthesis of some seleno analogues, namely 5-aryl-1,3-dimethyl-7-selenoxopyrimidino [4,5-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione 4, by the reaction of acyl isoselenocyanates, generated from acyl chlorides and potassium selenocyanate, with 6-amino-N,N′-dimethyluracil in acetone using a reported method.…”
