“…It should be noted that compounds substituted on the N atom of the pyrimidine ring are not reduced under these conditions. [70] A common property of the dihydro derivatives of azolopyrimidines is their ability to heteroaromatize, which can be achieved preparatively by the action of Nbromosuccinimide, [16,18,19,34,35,56,64,66,[73][74][75] Br 2 /HOAc, [35,60,76,77] I 2 , [78] SeO 2 , [35] PhI(OAc) 2 , [79] CrO 3 , [80] NaNO 2 /HOAc (R 1= COOEt), [81] 2,3-dicyano-5,6-dichloro-pbenzoquinone, [72,82,83] Na 2 S 2 O 8 , [84] ammonium cerium (IV) nitrate, [85] potassium permanganate, [86] manganese (IV) oxide [50] (reaction l). Sometimes the dehydration of dihydro derivatives (reaction I) can occur as a secondary process during their synthesis.…”
