1.2.4- Triazolo pyrimidine-2,4-diones, 1,3-dimethyl

A derivative of a hitherto unknown nucleus was produced when 4-amino-5-aminomethyl-3-methyltriazole was refluxed with carbon disulfide and triethylamine in pyridine, which yielded 3-methyl-3,7-dihydro-l,2,3-triazolo-[4,5-d][l,3]thiazine-5-thione (98) (3 hr, 53%) the 3-benzyl analog was made similarly (63%) [80JCS(P1)2009]. Cyclization of 4-anilino-5-ethoxycarbonyltriazole with polyphosphoric acid produced 1 f/-triazolo-[4,5-h]quinol-4-one (99) [80EUP(A)2562]. Similarly, ring closure of 4-(2-pyridylamino)triazole-5-carboxylic acid (or its esters) gave l//-pyrido-[l,2-a]-l,2,3-triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidin-4-one (100) (77GEP2757929). 4-Amino-5-formyl-3-methyltriazole and pentane-2,4-dione, set aside in 20% sulfuric acid, yielded 3,5-dimethyl-3//-l,2,3-triazolo [4,5-6] pyridin-6-yl... 

Heating 6-azido-l,3-dimethyluracil with alkyl halides in dimethylfor-mamide containing potassium carbonate yields l-alkyl-4,6-dimethyl-t -triazolo(4,5-d)pyrimidin-5,7(4, 6//)-diones ...
