The synthesis and properties of some derivatives of 2-oxo-4-thioxo- and 2, 4-dithioxo-1h, 3h-pteridines

Some new derivatives of 2-oxo-4-thioxo- (I) and 2,4-dithioxo-1H, 3H-pteridine (II) have been prepared by treatment of 2,4-dioxo- (III) and 2-thioxo-4-oxo-1H,3H-pteridines (IV) with P₂S₅ in dioxane solution. The corresponding 4-phenylhydrazones, and the products of reaction of the pteridinethiones with aliphatic and aromatic amines and amino acids, have been obtained.
