Abstract
An improved synthesis of 3-(substituted)pyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(1H,6H)-diones, a known subclass of 4-deazatoxoflavins, is reported. The approach involves treatment of 3-methyl-6-(1-methylhydrazinyl) uracil with representative phenyl and alkyl glyoxal monohydrates, which in turn are obtained by selenium dioxide oxidation of the corresponding phenyl and alkyl methyl ketones. The first entry into 4-monosubstituted isomers is also reported.
