Abstract
Treatment of 5-iodo-1,3,6-trimethyluracil with 50% H2SO4 gives 1,3,6-trimethyluracil; with 5-bromo-1,3,6-trimethyluracil, a mixture of 1,3,6-trimethyluracil and 6-bromomethyl-1,3-dimethyluracil is obtained. 5-Chloro-1,3,6-trimethyluracil remains inert under these conditions. According to the DFT modeling of the reactions of 5-halo-1,3,6-trimethyluracils, a nucleophilic agent can abstract either Hal+ or the methyl proton from the carbocation formed by protonation of the starting halouracil at position 5, which accounts for the formation of two products from the 5-bromo derivative. Under similar conditions, 6-methyluracil dibromohydrin yields N-bromo-5-bromo-6-hydroxymethyluracil. Bromination or chlorination of 5-hydroxymethyl- or 5-formyl-6-methyluracils follows the ipso-substitution scheme leading to 6-methyluracil 5-halo- and 5,5-dihalohydrins.
