Investigation of nitrogen- and sulfur-containing heterocycles. 38. Reactions of 2-mercapto-3-ureidopyridines with halo β-diketones

The reaction of 2-mercapto-3-ureido-6-chloropyridine with chlorodibenzoylmethane in the presence of alkali leads to 2-(benzoylmethylthio)-3-benzamido-6-chloropyridine, whereas the reaction in the absence of alkali leads to 2-chloro-6-phenyl-7-benzoylpyrido[2,3-b] [1,4]thiazine. Under similar conditions 2-(diacetylmethylthio)-3-ureido-6-chloropyridine, 2-(acetylmethylthio)-3-ureido-6-chloropyridine, and 2-chloro-6-methyl-7-acetylpyrido[2,3-b][1,4]thiazine were obtained from 2-mercapto-3-ureido-6-chloropyridine and chloroacetylacetone. Treatment of 2-(diacetylmethylthio)-3-ureido-6-chloropyridine with alcoholic alkali leads to 2-(acetylmethylthio)-3-ureido-6-chloropyridine. 2-Chloro-6-phenyl-7-acetylpyrido-[2,3-b] [1,4]thiazine and 2-(benzoylmethylthio)-3-ureido-6-chloropyridine are formed in the reaction of 2-mercapto-3-ureido-6-chloropyridine with chlorobenzoylacetone in the presence of an equimolar amount of alkali, while 2-(benzoylmethylthio)-3-acetamido-6-chloropyridine is formed when excess alkali is used.
