R. Kubik et J. Kuthan, STERICALLY CROWDED HETEROCYCLES .5. INCORPORATION OF MELAMINE AND ADENINE MOIETIES INTO IMIDAZOL[1,2]HETEROAROMATIC MOLECULES, Collection of Czechoslovak Chemical Communications, 61(5), 1996, pp. 770-773
Melamine and adenine react with 2,4,6-triphenylpyrylium perchlorate to
corresponding quaternary pyridinium salts 1 and 2, respectively. Ferr
icyanide oxidation of salt 1 in alkaline medium gave 3,5]triazin-6-yl]
-1,3-diphenylprop-2-en-1-one-(3). Analogous oxidation of perchlorate 2
afforded [1,2-f]-4H-purin-7-yl)-1,3-diphenylprop-2-en-1-one (5).
