Abstract:Compounds with alkoxycarbonylmethyl groups in adjacent positions in a pyrimidine ring can be used as synthons in the preparation of polycyclic heterosystems. Our previous attempt [1] to synthesize pyrimidine derivatives having S-and N-alkoxycarbonylmethyl groups respectively in positions 2 and 3 of the ring by alkylation of the corresponding 4-hydroxy-2-mercaptopyrimidine or methyl 4-hydroxy-2-methoxycarbonylmethylsulfanylacetate with methyl bromoacetate were unsuccessful since only the S-or N-dialkylation pro… Show more
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.
