Stable 6-amino-5-thioformyluracils 3a-e were synthesized starting from 6-amino-1, 3- disubstituted uracils 1a-e in 23–98% yields. According to the x-ray crystal structure, although the thioaldehyde 3c possesses reasonable double-bond character of the C= S bond, the length of C= S bond of the thioaldehyde 3c is longer than those of the kinetically stabilized thioaldehydes due to the mesomeric effect of the 6-amino group.
