Synthesis of pyrimidine derivatives by reaction of pyrylium salts with guanidine and compounds of the guanidine series

Abstract

2,4,6-Triphenylpyrylium perchlorate reacts with methylguanidine to give 1-methyl-2-amino-4,6-diphenylpyrimidinium perchlorate, which undergoes the Dimroth rearrangement to give 2-methylamino-4,6-diphenylpyrimidine. 2,4,6-Triarylpyrylium perchlorates react with guanidine to give N-pyrimidinylpyridinium salts. Pyrylium salts react with aminoguanidine, sulfanilylguanidine, and symmetrical diphenylguanidine at one amino group to give the corresponding pyridinium salts.
