The quantum-chemical analysis by АМ1 method
[2, 3] of S- and С-anions generated from I and III
respectively indicates a distinction in charges and
energy on the reaction centre of anions in comparison
with the corresponding anions from thiobarbituric acid.

Benzylidene group incorporation into the position 5
(anion А) leads to decrease in the electron density of
the thiolate anion in comparison with anion С and to
decrease in its reactivity. Benzylthiolate group
incorporation increases electron density on the carbon
atom in carbanion В in comparison with anion D and
makes possible С-benzylation.

in 30 ml of water–dioxane mixture (20 ml of dioxane
and 10 ml of water) was dropwise added a solution of
0.4 g (8.9 mmol) of sodium hydroxide in 10 ml of
water. The solid residue was fileterd off and to the
filtrate obtained was dropwise added a solution of
benzyl chloride (1.1 ml, 9.4 mmol) in 5 ml of dioxane.
This mixture was stirred for 2 h and then it was kept
overnight. At the next day the reaction mixture was
filtered. The filtrate was concentrated, and precipitate

(1H,5H)-dione (II). To a suspension of 5 g (21.5 mmol)
of I in 60 ml of water–dioxane mixture (50 ml of
dioxane and 10 ml of water) was added dropwise a
solution of 0.9 g (22.6 mmol) of sodium hydroxide in
40 ml of water. This mixture was stirred for 2 h to the
reaction mixture solidification. To the suspension
obtained was dropwise added a solution of benzyl
chloride (2.7 ml, 23.6 mmol) in 5 ml of dioxane. This
mixture was stirred for 3 h and left kept overnight. At
