B. Riemer et al., BATHOCHROMIC 1-AMINO-2(1H)-PYRIMIDINIMINES AND HYDRAZONES BY SUBSTITUTION DIMROTH REARRANGEMENT OF 1-AMINO-2-METHYLTHIOPYRIMIDINIUM SALTS, Journal of heterocyclic chemistry, 30(6), 1993, pp. 1607-1611
1-Amino-2-methylthiopyrimidinium salts 1 and 9 react with hydrazines 2
or alkylamines 6 by substitution of the methylthio group and Dimroth
rearrangement affording violet or purple 2(1H)-pyrimidinehydrazones 5
and 7 or orange hydrazones 8, rather than the non-rearranged hydrazone
s 10 or zwitterionic 1-amido-2-hydrazinopyrimidinium ylides 4 as previ
ously reported.
