Abstract

The condensation of 6-chlorouracils with o-(substituted amino)benzyl alcohols and o-hydroxybenzyl alcohol gave directly 5-deazaflavin and 5-deaza-l O-oxaflavin derivatives, respectively. ... 5-Deazaflavins (5-deazaisoalloxazines) have received much attention since the discovery that some naturally occurring coenzymes possess the 8-hydroxy-5-deazaflavin moiety. 1 4 Existing methodologies for the synthesis of 5-deazaflavins involve (a) the condensation of ...
