The synthesis and characterization of 2,3-dihydro-6-methyl-2-thioxopyrimidin-(1H)-one (I) and some of its derivatives has been performed in our lab. Ring-closing cyclization, as a result of the condensation of ethyl-3-oxobutanoate with thiourea in KOH in an ethanol medium produced 2,3-dihydro-6-methy -2-thioxopyrimidin-(1H)-one (I). The reaction of compound (I) with 2- chloroacetic acid in an alkaline KOH solution produced the carboxylate derivative, 2-(2,6-dihydro-4-methyl-6-oxopyrimidin-2-yl-thio)ethanoic acid (II). The reaction of the resulted derivative of carboxylate (II) with the salt of copper sulphate, produced a new copper salt (III). A substitution reaction between synthesized compound (I) and 2-chloroethanol in an aqueous solution of KOH, created 2-(2-hydroxyethylthio)-6-methylpyrimidin-4(3H)-one (IV). The reaction of compound (I) with 2-(chloromethyl)oxirane in the presence of an aqueous solution of KOH, resulted yielded 2-(3-chloro-2-hydroxy-propylthio)-6-methylpyrimidin-4(3H)-one (V). Sodium mercaptide compound (VI), was produced by the reaction of (I) with NaOH and then the sodium salt of 2,3-dihydro-6-methyl-2-thioxopyrimidin-(1H)-one (VI) was reacted with 2-(chloromethyl)oxirane to result in 2-((oxiran-2-yl) methyl-thio)-6-methyl-pyrimidin-4(3H)-one (VII). Different acylation reagents (acetyl chloride, benzoyl chloride) were reacted with compound (I), in dimethylformamide, acylation happens on sulfur and furnished S-acylified derivatives of (VIII-IX). All the synthesized and obtained products were confirmed by IR,1H, and13C NMR and elemental analysis.
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.
