N. Nishiwaki et al., FACILE SYNTHESIS OF FUNCTIONALIZED NITROENAMINES .2. RING-OPENING REACTION OF HYDRATED 1-METHYL-5-NITROPYRIMIDIN-4(1H)-ONE, Heterocyclic communications, 2(2), 1996, pp. 129-134
Three methods for synthesis of 1-methyl-5-nitropyrimidin-4(1H)-one (<(
5a)under bar>) from 2-thiouracil (6) under bar were investigated. It w
as found that the title compound (<(5a)under bar>) was readily hydrate
d and ring opening reaction proceeded to give nitroenamine (<(12a)unde
r bar>) possessing a N-formylcarbamoyl group. Transformation of nitroe
namine (<(12a)under bar>) to polysubstituted pyridin-2(1H)-one (<(13)u
nder bar>) was performed.
