Oxidation of 5-hydroxy-6-methyluracil with molecular oxygen in the presence of copper(II) chloride in aqueous solution

Oxidation of 5-hydroxy-6-methyluracil with molecular oxygen in the presence of copper(II) chloride involves formation of a 2 : 1 complex with copper(II). The rates of consumption of initial 5-hydroxy-6-methyluracil and oxygen were determined in the temperature range from 40 to 80°C. A probable reaction mechanism implies fixation and activation of molecular oxygen on the copper(II) complex with 5-hydroxy-6-methyluracil with formation of active oxygen species that are responsible for hydroxylation of the double C⁵=C⁶ bond in the uracil molecule.     

Experimental and quantum-chemical study of the mechanism of oxidation of 5-hydroxy-6-methyl-uracil by molecular oxygen in the presence of copper(II) ions

It has been discovered experimentally that 5,5,6-trihydroxy-6-methylpyrimidine-2,4-dione is formed on oxidizing 5-hydroxy-6-methyluracil with molecular oxygen in aqueous medium in the presence of copper(II) chloride. Ab initio and DFT calculations on the 6-31G* basis, both in the gas phase and allowing for solvent, showed that the process proceeds with the direct participation of an activated oxygen molecule on the complex CuCl₂·(5-hydroxy-6-methyluracil)2.

Acid-Base Equilibrium of 5-Methoxy-6-methyluracil in Solutions: Evaluation of Content of Anionic Forms in Aqueous Alkaline Solution

Dissociation constants of 5-methoxy-6-methyluracil, 5-methoxy-1,6-dimethyluracil and 5-methoxy-3,6-dimethyluracil in water are determined. Basing on the obtained рK_а1 values, the content of anions in aqueous alkaline solution of 5-methoxy-6-methyluracil was calculated. The results were confirmed by the use of model compounds: 5-methoxy-1,6-dimethyluracil and 5-methoxy-3,6-dimethyluracil using the NMR spectroscopy.     

Interaction of schiff bases with indandione-1, 3

A new method was examined for the synthesis of multinuclear systems based on dihydroquinoline and quinoline, consisting of the interaction of arylidene--naphthylamines with indandione-1, 3. The reaction of arylidene anilines with indandione-1,3 leads to the formation of arylidenindandiones-1, 3.
