Aaf. Wasfy et al., SYNTHESIS AND REACTIONS OF 6(4)-(P-BENZYLPHENYL)-4(6)-PHENYLPYRIMIDINE-2(1H) THIONE, Heterocyclic communications, 2(4), 1996, pp. 375-381
1,3-Diaryl-2-Propen-1-one reacted with thiourea in the presence of sod
ium ethoxide to furnish 4,6-diarylpyrimidine-2(1H) thione (2) under ba
r. The behaviour of (2) under bar towards nitrogen nucleophiles, and c
arbon electrophiles under Michael reaction conditions have been invest
igated. The oxidation of the thione (2) under bar gave the correspondi
ng disulphide derivative <(12)under bar>. Acylation of (2) under bar y
ielded the corresponding S-acetyl-<(13)under bar> and N-benzoyl-<(14)u
nder bar> derivatives, respectively.
