Abstract: | N,N'-Dimethylthiourea and 3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2-pyrimidinethiol were allowed to react with 2-chloro-nicotinonitrile ( 1 ) and their products investigated by standard methods and by carbon-13 nmr. In both instances, displacement of the chlorine occurred by nitrogen not the sulfur of the thioureas. Secondary cyclizations occurred by attack of nitrogen on the nitrile to furnish 3a , and by sulfur on the nitrile to give 4b , a new ring system. Tricyclic 4b was hydrolyzed in dilute acid to give 5 , or alkylated with methyl iodide in the presence of sodium hydride to give the ring opened product 6 . |
