M. Prabhavat et Bj. Ghiya, A COMPARATIVE STUDY - REACTION OF CHALCONES WITH THIOUREA IN DIFFERENT SOLVENTS-FORMATION OF DIHYDRO 2-MERCAPTOPYRIMIDINES, Indian Journal of Heterocyclic Chemistry, 7(4), 1998, pp. 311-312
A comparative study of reaction between chalcones and thiourea has bee
n undertaken. In this reaction, yield and nature of products are depen
dent only on substituents in chalcones. The major products of the reac
tion are 2-mercaptopyrimidines. The synthesized 2-mercaptopyrimidines
were screened for their anticancer antitubercular and anti AIDS activi
ties, as well as for their antimicrobial activity.
