Switching between Reaction Pathways by an Alcohol Cosolvent Effect: SmI2–Ethylene Glycol vs SmI2–H2O Mediated Synthesis of Uracils
摘要:
A chemoselective switch between reaction pathways by an alcohol cosolvent effect in a general SmI2-mediated synthesis of uracil derivatives is described. The method relies on the use of coordinating solvents to increase the redox potential of Sm(II) and results in a chemoselective 1,2-reduction (SmI2H2O) or 1,2-migration via in situ generated N-acyliminium ions (SmI(2)ethylene glycol, EG). This work exploits the mild conditions of the SmI2-mediated monoreduction of barbituric acids and offers an attractive protocol for the synthesis of uracil derivatives with biological activity from readily accessible building blocks.

3-dimethyluracils, although a steric effect of the methyl group at 6-position complicated the reaction. On the other hand, a similar treatment of 1,3-dimethylthymine led to alkylation of the methyl group at 5-position. The reaction of caffeine gave 8-alkylcaffeines and alkyl acetates were used as favorable solvents with respect to synthesis of 8-alkylcaffeines.
