Abstract

5-Bromoiaocytmine and Sbromouracil react readily with arylmercaptans in ethylene glycol at 150'to produce! &aryl-thiopyrimidinea in 4&50% yields. The 5-unsubstituted pyrimidines and the disulfide of the mercaptan are by-products of this reaction. 2-Amino-, zdislkylamine, and 2-mercapt~ 4-hydroxy-bsrylthiopyrimidines can also be prepared by the amdemation of guanidines or thiourea with a-alkoxymethylcnearylthioacetic esters. Chlorination and ...
