Fervenulin 4-oxides, syntheses

A full account of the methods of direct synthesis of the previously inaccessible fervenulin 4-oxides, reported last year, " has appeared. Also noted last year was the value of 6-hydrazino-l,3-dimethyl-5-nitrosouracil (356) as a precursor in purine and pteridine syntheses. Extension of this work has now provided access to 3-aryl-fervenulins (357) and pyrimido[5,4-e]-as-triazines (358), as...
