Abstract
Preparation of 7-amino-3,6-dimethylimidazo[2,3-c]-1,2,6-thiadiazine 5,5-dioxide which involves formylation of the corresponding furazano[3,4-c]thiadiazine derivative, reductive cleavage of the furazan moiety and subsequent cyclization to the imidazole ring is described. For the synthesis of 1-methyl- and 3-methyl-7-amino-4H-imidazo[2,3-c]-1,2,6-thiadiazine 5,5-dioxide, the corresponding 4-benzyl-imidazo[2,3-c]thiadiazine was prepared and methylated to give a mixture of the 4-benzyl-1-methyl and 4-benzyl-3-methyl isomers which were finally debenzylated by catalytic hydrogenation. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds are discussed on the basis of their spectroscopic data.

Abstract
Introduction of a 2,4-dichlorophenoxy group at the 4-position of 2-amino-6-phenylpyrimidine allowed a regioselective oxidation to the N1-oxide. The resultant pyrimidine oxide, derived from m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid treatment, was converted to the pyrimidinone by acidic hydrolysis. The structure was unambiguously determined by x-ray crystallographic analysis.

■ Oxidation of 2,4-Disubstituted Pyrimidines with Organic Peracids
Hiroshi Yamanaka,* Shigeru Ogawa, and Takao Sakamoto
*Pharmaceutical Institute, Tohoku University, Aobayama, Sendai 980-8578, Japan
Abstract
While 4,6-disubstituted (alkyl, aryl, alkoxyl) pyrimidines easily afforded the corresponding mono-N-oxides with hydrogen peroxide in glacial acetic acid, pyrimidine derivatives whose 6-position is free, are partly oxidatively degradated during N-oxidation reaction. The oxidation of the latter compounds under the above conditions gave 2,4-disubstituted imidazoles together with their mono-N-oxides. A likely mechanism of this ring-contraction and the improved conditions for the synthesis of the N-oxides are also described.

Abstract
The reaction of 3-aminocrotonamide (5) with some nitriles, such as acetonitrile, propiononitrile, iso-butyronitrile, and benzonitrile, gave the corresponding 2-substituted 6-methyl-4(3H)-pyrimidones (2a - 2d). Phenylacetonitrile reacted with (5) to give 2-benzyl-6-methyl-4(3H)-pyrimidone (7) and 6-amino-4-methyl-5-phenyl-2(1H)-pyridone (8a). Malononitrile, however, reacted with (5) to afford 6-amino-5-cyano-4-methyl-2(1H)-pyridone (8b).

Abstract
Chemical vs photochemical oxidation of the 2,16 double bond of vincadifformine 1 and 3-oxo vincadifformine 2 yielded inter alia, respectively the ketoöxindoles 7 and 8. Attempts of partial synthesis of vincatine 15 from these derivatives were unsuccessful. The structure of the LAH reduction product of vincatine is revised to 21. The stereochemical course of an earlier total synthesis of vincadifformine is examined.

Abstract
Comparison is made of the alkylating activities of a series of semi-synthetic pyrrole esters and pyrrole derivatives of pyrrolizidine alkaloids under pseudo-first-order reaction conditions. Examination of the rate data indicates two reaction patterns; those compounds whose rate data fit a simple first-order rate expression and a second group of compounds whose rate data fit a biexponential expression.
