“…It is worth noting that the major method of synthesis of pyrimidine N -oxides, based on oxidation of corresponding pyrimidines, is complicated by side reactions. , Other existing approaches to pyrimidine N -oxides ,, include the reactions of ring transformations, preferentially of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles or pyrimidinium compounds, ,− and the ring-closure reactions, such as the condensation of amino-containing carbonyl derivatives − and nitriles by the treatment with hydroxylamine; the cyclization of amino oximes with orthoesters, , 1,3-dicarbonyl derivatives, , isothiocyanates or chloroanhydrides; and, less general, the reaction of nitroaromatic compounds with isocyanoacetate. , It is noteworthy that none of ring formation methods was employed to obtain 4-halogenopyrimidine N -oxides.…”
