- Halogenation and nitration of 1-carboxymethyl-5-methyluracil. Halophilic reaction involving acetic anhydride
-
1-Carboxymethyl-5-halo-6-hydroxy-5-methyl-5,6-dihydrouracils and 1-carboxymethyl-6-hydroxy-5-methyl-5-mtro-5,6-dihydrouracils were synthesized for the first time by oxidative halogenation and nitration of 1-carboxymethyl-5-methyluracil. Dihydrouracil derivatives bearing a Br atom at position C(5) and a hydroxy group at position C(6) treated with Ac2O undergo deoxyhalogenation.

- Electrophilic ipso-substitution in uracil derivatives
-
Treatment of 5-iodo-1,3,6-trimethyluracil with 50% H2SO 4 gives 1,3,6-trimethyluracil; with 5-bromo-1,3,6-trimethyluracil, a mixture of 1,3,6-trimethyluracil and 6-bromomethyl-1,3-dimethyluracil is obtained. 5-Chloro-1,3,6-trimethyluracil remains inert under these conditions. According to the DFT modeling of the reactions of 5-halo-1,3,6-trimethyluracils, a nucleophilic agent can abstract either Hal+ or the methyl proton from the carbocation formed by protonation of the starting halouracil at position 5, which accounts for the formation of two products from the 5-bromo derivative. Under similar conditions, 6-methyluracil dibromohydrin yields N-bromo-5-bromo-6-hydroxymethyluracil. Bromination or chlorination of 5-hydroxymethyl- or 5-formyl-6-methyluracils follows the ipso-substitution scheme leading to 6-methyluracil 5-halo- and 5,5-dihalohydrins.

- Oxidative halogenation of 6-methyluracil
-
An efficient method has been developed for the preparation of halo derivatives of 6-methyluracil by employing oxidative halogenation. Elemental halogens and potassium halides were used as the halogenating agents, while NaNO3 and H2O2 were used as the oxidizing agents. Iodination of 6-methyl-uracil leads to 5-iodo-6-methyluracil as the single reaction product, while bromination or chlorination lead to 5-halo-6-methyluracil, 5,5-dihalo-6-hydroxy-6-methyl-5,6-dihydrouracil, or their mixture depending on the acidity of the medium and the ratio of the substrate and reagents. Bromination of 5-chloro-6-methyluracil leads to 5-bromo-5-chloro-6-hydroxy-6-methyl-5,6-dihydrouracil, while chlorination of 6-methyl-, 5-bromo-6-methyl-, and 5-chloro-6-methyluracils using gaseous chlorine yields 5,5-dichloro-6-hydroxy-6-methyl-5,6-dihydrouracil.
