Abstract
Reactions of barbituric, 1,3-dimethylbarbituric, and 2-thiobarbituric acids with 2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)benzaldehyde, its 6- and 7-membered homologs, and 4-phenylpiperazine and morpholine analogs lead to formation of fused systems with a spirocyclic 2,4,6-trioxopyrimidine fragment. The process involves intermediate formation of labile 5-arylmethylidenebarbituric acids which exhibit t-amino effect and undergo spontaneous isomerization to give the final products. The observed spirocyclizations are characterized by an anomalously high rate.
