Abstract

Reactions of 6-amino-, 6-alkylamino-and 6-anilino-l, 3-dimethyluracils (1a-e) with 3, 4- diphenyl-1-tosylimidazolidine (2), in the presence of acid, lead to the formation of products which are derived from an “exocyclic methylene intermediate” analogous to the one formed in the thymidylate synthase reaction. The intermediate has been identified by (a) spectral studies,(b) formation of adducts with dihydropyridine and dihydroquinonline derivatives ...
