2-Thio-5- -6-azauracil

Thioxo-3-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-l,2,4-triazine (4-thio-6-azauracil) (88) and 3,5-dithioxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-l,2,4-triazine (2,4-dithio-6-azauracil) (89) w ere prepared by Hitchings et al. treating 6-aza-... 

Sorm et a/. prepared azacytidine and some of its derivatives in a similar way. The 4-thio derivative was obtained from 2, 3, 5 -tri-0-acetyl- or 2, 3, 5 -tri-0-benzoyl-6-azauridine by treatment with phosphorus pentasulfide this liberated 4-thio-6-azauridine (126) which was identified with 4-thio-6-azauracil on comparing the UV spectra. Treatment with ammonia produced 6-azacytidine (127) treatment with hydrazine, hydroxylamine, and n-butylamine yielded the corresponding derivatives. 

Silylation-amination of 4(lH)-quinohnone 255 with a twofold excess of dopamine hydrochloride 256 as amine and an acidic catalyst affords, on heating with excess HMDS 2 for 21 h at 145 °C and subsequent transsilylation in excess boihng methanol, 75% of the crystalline hydrate of 257 (Scheme 4.28). The silylation-amination of 2-thio-6-azauracil 258 with homoveratrylamine 259, HMDS 2, and SnCLj as catalyst for 48 h at 145 °C furnishes 63% of the diamine 260, and MesSiOSiMes 7 and Me3SiSH or Me3SiSSiMe3 601 as leaving groups. 

A more convenient method for the preparation of this ring system started with thiosemicarbazone 123, whose alkaline cyclization to 2-thio-5-(o-nitrobenzyl)-6-azauracil 125 proceeds smoothly (84CCC2628). In contrast to the above method, it is not necessary to isolate the Z-form of thiosemi-... 

Alkylation reactions were recently performed with all the thio derivatives of 6-azauracil and 6-azathymine. In agreement with previous findings, the methylmercapto derivatives were obtained by alkylation of all these substances in alkaline solution. Thus, e.g., 3-ihethylmercapto-6-oxo-2,5-dihydro-l,2,4-triazine (96), 5-methylmer-capto-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-l,2,4-triazine (90), and 3,5-dimethylmer-capto-l,2,4-triazme (91) were obtained. The last-named of these was... 

Novel mesoionic structures 22 have been obtained via the internal cyclization of thio- and amino-acid derivatives of 6-azauracil 21. These compounds undergo ring-opening reactions with amines to yield the respective 6-azauracil amides 23. <05TL5325>. 

Standard methods involving glycosyl halide or ester derivatives in reaction with protected heterocycles have been applied to the synthesis of various glycosyl derivatives of 5-fluoro-uracil and -cytosine, a number of nitro-imidazoles and -pyrazoles, thiadiazines and oxadiazolo-thiadiazines, and 5-methylthio derivatives of -uracil, -4-thiouracil, and -cytosine,/3-D-ribofuranosyl derivatives of 2-thio-6-azauracil, diethyl 4-hydroxypyrazole-3,5-dicarboxylate, 5-acetyl-uraeil, 2,4- and 2,5-thiazolidinediones, 4-thiomethyl-2-azapurine, 2-hydroxypurine, 3-deaza-adenine-8- C, l-deaza-8-azaguanine, imidazo-(l,2- )l,3,5-triazenes, e.g., (5), //n-benzo-guanosine, -inosine, and -xanthosine (6), and a derivative of lV-2-(i3-D-ribopyranosyl)benzotriazoie. Likewise 2-0-... 

Conventional condensation procedures have been used to prepare 2-pyridone nucleosides of type (7. i3 6-aza- and 2-thio-6-azauracil derivatives of type(8),i4 1-P-D-rlbofuranosyl derivatives of nltrobenzimidazoles, 15 chloroindazoles, and 6- and 7-p-chlorophenyllumazines,i and 2-...
