F. Palacios et al., An easy strategy for the synthesis of 5-phosphorylated pyrimidin-2,4-diones from beta-phosphine oxide and phosphonate enamines, TETRAHEDRON, 55(10), 1999, pp. 3105-3116
An easy and efficient synthesis of pyrimidin-2,4-diones substituted with a
phosphine oxide or phosphonate group in the 5-positionis described. The key
step is the cyclization of functionalized amides, with ethyl chloroformate
in the presence of base. In the same way, functionalized thioamides afford
ed substituted 5-phosphorylated 2-oxo-pyrimidin-4-thiones. (C) 1999 Elsevie
