An environmentally friendly, one-pot, three-component synthesis of 8,10-dimethyl-12-aryl-12H-naphtho[1′,2′:5,6]pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine-9,11-diones was achieved via coupling aromatic of aldehydes, β-naphthol and 6-amino-1,3-dimethyl uracil in the presence of formic acid as a catalyst under solvent-free conditions at 90 °C. This method has several advantages, such as efficiency, good yield, short...

Uracil, the pyrimidine nucleobase, which combined with adenine forms one of the major motifs present in the biopolymer RNA, is also involved in the self-assembly of RNA. In the title compound, C(9)H(14)N(4)O(2)·2H(2)O, the asymmetric unit contains one dimethyl-amino-uracil group and two water mol-ecules. The plane of the N=C-NMe(2) side chain is inclined at 27.6 (5)° to the plane of the uracil ...

The regulation of base excision repair during cell proliferation was examined as a function of the rate of cell growth. Normal human skin fibroblasts (mean generation time, 27.64 hr) and hamster fibroblasts (mean generation time, 13.79 hr) were utilized to examine this relationship. The regulation of base excision repair in each cell type was examined by quantitating (a) the activity of the bas...

A dioxane homo-sugar analog, (2S,5S)-and (2R,5S)-5-[(4S)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl]-2-iodomethyl-1,4-dioxane was prepared from (2R,3R)-dimethyl tartrate, and further elaborated into the corresponding homo-N-nucleoside analogs by its reactions with uracil and adenine, respectively.

one-pot multicomponent reaction between isatin, barbituric acid, and 6-amino-1,3-dimethyl uracil was investigated in the presence of sulfonic acid functionalized nanoporous silica (sba-pr-so3h) and resulted in the formation of spirooxindole dipyrimidines. spirooxindole unit is found in many natural products and biologically active molecules and 1,4-dihydropyridines are an important class of com...

Adam-The easier electrochemical reduction of uridme (I-/LLLtibofirranosylumcil) in dimethyl sulfoxide as compared to uracil (2, 4dihydroxypyrimidine) by ca. 0.1 V is exphcable on the basii of the electronwithdrawing effect of the ribose group. This effect and possible steric hindrance by the ribose group markedly affect the reaction sequence following the initial one-electron reduction to gener...

In the title pyrimidine derivative, C(24)H(28)N(2)O(3), the uracil unit is essentially planar with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0054 (1) Å for the eight non-H atoms. The pyrimidine ring is tilted by a dihedral angle of 77.08 (7)° with respect to the aromatic ring of the 3,5-dimethyl-benzyl substituent, whereas it is nearly parallel to the benzene ring of the pheneth-oxy-methyl unit, with a dihedral...

Pulse radiolysis technique has been used to investigate the reaction of oxide radical ion (O.¡) with 4,6-dihydroxy-2-methyl pyrimidine (DHMP), 2,4-dimethyl-6-hydroxy pyrimidine (DMHP), 5,6-dimethyl uracil (DMU) and 6-methyl uracil (MU) in strongly alkaline medium. The second-order rate constants for the reaction of O.¡ with these compounds are in the range 2–5£ 108 dm3mol¡1 s¡1. The transient a...

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to investigate the effects of a carbon nanotube (CNT) on the properties of the fluorouracil (F-Uracil) anticancer drug. To achieve the purpose, a molecular model including both of F-Uracil and CNT molecules was created to represent the CNT@F-Uracil compound. The optimized parameters indicated that the new compound could show new proper...
