Heterocyclic analogs of pleiadiene 61. 2-cyano- and 2-carbamoylperimidines
Treatment of 1-R-2 chloroperimidines with potassium or sodium cyanides in DMSO solution leads to facile substitution of the chlorine atom by the CN group and formation of previously unknown 1-R-2-cyanoperimidines. The latter upon heating in polyphosphoric acid are converted to 1-R-2-carbomoylperimidines in good yield.
