The rearrangement of one thiazolo [5, 4-d] pyrimidine to a pyrimido [5, 4-e] triazine and another to a 9-aminopurine is described. Reaction of methyl 6-amino-as-triazine-5- carboxylate (18) with guanidine to give 7-aminopyrimido [5, 4-e]-as-triazin-5 (6H)-one (2 1) was unsuccessful. The successful route to 7-amino compounds of this type involved the preparation and cyclization of 2, 5-diamino-6-(benzylthio)-4-hydrazinopyrimidine (30) to ...
