Synthesis of 5-(6-Methyl-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3-pyrimidinyl)-methyl-4-amino-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione and its Reactions with Polyfunctional Electrophiles

Summary.

 In the reaction of 5-(6-methyl-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3-pyrimidinyl)-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thione with hydrazine hydrate, 5-(6-methyl-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3-pyrimidinyl)-methyl-4-amino-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione was formed. The reactions of the latter with ethyl bromoacetate and chloroacetonitrile in the presence of triethylamine proceeded under formation of the corresponding S-alkylated derivatives, whereas from its reaction with ω-bromoacetophenone and ethyl 4-chloroacetoacetate triazolothiadiazines were obtained. Treatment of the title compound with ethyl 2-chloroacetoacetate led to the formation of 5-(6-methyl-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3-pyrimidinyl)-methyl-4-N-acetylamino-(3-ethoxy-carbonylmethylthio)-1,2,4-triazole. Performing of the latter reaction without basic catalyst gave a triazolothiadiazine. Treatment of the S-alkylated derivatives with sodium methoxide resulted in triazolothiadiazines via a cyclocondensation reaction.
