K. Hirota et al., STABLE THIOALDEHYDES - SYNTHESIS, STRUCTURE ASSIGNMENT, AND STABILITYOF 6-AMINO-5-THIOFORMYLURACILS, Tetrahedron, 52(30), 1996, pp. 9971-9978
Stable 6-amino-5-thioformyluracils fair were synthesized starting from
6-amino-1,3-disubstituted uracils 1a-e in 23-98 % yields. According t
o the x-ray crystal structure, although the thioaldehyde 3c possesses
reasonable double-bond character of the C=S bond the length of C=S bon
d of the thioaldehyde 3c is longer than those of the kinetically stabi
lized thioaldehydes due to the mesomeric effect of the 6-amino group.
