Diversity of the C–C bond formation in the reaction of a 5-bromouracil derivative with carbanions
Abstract
The reaction of 5-bromo-1,3-dimethyluracil (1) with active methylene compounds in the presence of base gave 5,6-disubstituted 5,6-dihydrouracil derivative (2), 2,4-diazabicyclo[4.1.0]heptane derivatives (4), and 2,4-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]nonane derivative (5), the formation of which was significantly dependent on the nature of the carbaions.
