Abstract
Abstract 1-(2,4-Dinitrophenyl)-5-nitrouracil and its 3-methyl derivatives were synthesized and used as substrates in reaction with aromatic amines and amino pyridines. In the reaction of aniline with 1-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-5-nitrouracil, only the acyclic adduct was isolated. When 1-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-3-methyl-5-nitrouracil was treated with aniline and other aromatic amines or amino pyridines, the desired 1-aryl-5-nitrouracil derivatives were obtained in satisfactory yield. The influence of the free H-3 proton present in the uracil ring on the course of the reaction is discussed.
