Procedures have been developed for the synthesis of 5,6-diamino-2,4-dihydroxypyrimidine and 4-hydroxy-2,5,6-triaminopyrimidine bisulfite in appreciably better yields and involving fewer isolations of intermediate products than previously reported.2. These compounds have been condensed with several dicarbonyl compounds to yield pyrimido [4,5-b]pyrazines symmetrically substituted in the 6-and 7positions.3. Ultraviolet absorption spectra of alkaline solutions of the compounds have been measured. Ithaca, X. Y.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
