Abstract

6-Hydroxy- and 6-aminouracils are two important classes of functionalized uracils. [4] 6-Hydroxyuracils constitute the basic moiety of clinically used hypnotic drugs of the barbiturates class, such as veronal, seconal, and phenobarbital. 6-Aminouracils are the key intermediates in the synthesis of purines, which constitute the basic moiety of a number of drugs, including caffeine, penciclovir, theobromine and theophylline. Moreover, 6-hydroxy- and 6-aminouracils find ...
