The reaction of 6-amino-5-(l,2-diethoxycarbonylhydrazino)pyrimidines with enamines represents another convenient method for the preparation of pteridines. Fusion of 5-(l,2-diethoxycarbonylhydrazino)-2,4,6-triaminopyrimidine (281) with an excess of mor-pholinocyclohexene leads to 2,4-diaminotetrahydrobenzo[g]pteridine, and with the morpholinoenamine (282) from 17/3-hydroxy-5a-androstan-3-one regioselective condensation to the fused pteridine (283) takes place in almost quantitative yield (equation 101) (71CC83). 6-Amino-5-nitroso- and 6-amino-5-phenylazo-pyrimidines react similarly, imitating the Timmis-type reaction (72CPB1428).

Ultraviolet spectral comparisons also indicate that structure 174 represents the predominant form of pteridin-4-one (a similar conclusion was reached for 2-amino-6,7-dimethylpteridin-4-one ), and a value of 1.72 has been calculated for log K p between forms 174 and 175 from pKa data. " It is possible, however, that the hydroxy... 

The ratio, at equilibrium, of the hydrated to anhydrous forms (for both neutral species and anions) has been measured for the following 2-hydroxjrpteridine and its 4-, 6-, and 7-methyl and 6,7-dimethyl derivatives 6-hydroxypteridine and its 2-, 4-, and 7-methyl derivatives 2,6-dihydroxypteridine and 2-amino-4,6-dihydroxypteridine. The following showed no evidence of hydration 4- and 7-hydroxy-pteridine 2,4-, 2,7-, 4,7-, and 6,7-dihydroxypteridine and 2-amino-4-hydroxypteridine. The kinetics of the reversible hydration of 2-hydroxypteridine and its C-methyl derivatives (also 2-mercapto-pteridine) have been measured in the pH region 4-12, and all these reactions were found to be acid-base cataljrzed. The amount of the hydrated form in the anions is always smaller than in the neutral species, but it is not always negligible. Thus, the percentages in 2-hydroxy-, 2-hydroxy-6-methyl-, 2-mercapto-, and 2,6-dihydroxypteridine are 12, 9, 19, and 36%, respectively (see also Table VI in ref. 10). 

Tautomerism is common in pteridine derivatives and the favored tautomers should be represented by the structural formulas. Amino groups exist as such and not in the iminodihydro form whereas the hydroxy and thiol functions 9 located adjacent or para to a ring nitrogen atom prefer the thermodynamically more stable amide (lactam) and thioamide (thioxo) configuration 8 (Scheme 1) . 

Tetrahydropterins are highly reactive towards oxidation (e.g. 542 — 544) even molecular oxygen can cause hydroxylation. The autoxidation is due to the electron donating groups such as amino and hydroxy, whereas removal of such substituents enhances the stability of the reduced pteridine nucleus tremendously (96CHEC-li(7)70l). The reaction appears to proceed via single electron transfer. The radical cation (543) can be observed by cyclic voltammetry.
