Abstract

2-Thiothymine (I) undergoes S-alkylation when treated with some halo compounds such as methyl and ethyl iodides. The S-alkyl derivatives II are treated with hydrazine hydrate to produce the hydrazine derivative III, which condensed with p-chlorobenzaldehyde to give p- chlorobenzaldehydepyrimidinehydrazone derivative IV. Compound II a reacts with phosphorus oxychloride to give 4-chloro derivative V. The chlorine atom in V undergoes ...
