Compound 8a was prepared according to the above general proce-
dure, starting from 7a (2.89 g, 10 mmol). Recrystallization (diox-
ane) of the product gave colorless crystals.
Although crystals of compound 10 were obtained, they were not
suitable for X-ray structural analysis. Suitable 10·DMF solvate
crystals were obtained after recrystallization from DMF. Selected
bond lengths and bond angles of 10 are presented in Table 2.

Data Collection: All crystallographic measurements were per-
formed at r.t. on a CAD-4 Enraf-Nonius diffractometer operating in
the w–2q scan mode (scanning rate ratio 2q/w = 1.2), qmax = 65° (0
≤ h ≤ 5, –13 ≤ k ≤ 14, –26 ≤ l ≤ 26) using Cu-Ka radiation
(l = 1.54178 Å). During the data collection the crystal had decom-
posed, and decay correction was applied. Intensities of 5430 reflec-
tions (4868 unique reflections, Rint 0.02) were measured. Data were
corrected for Lorentz and polarization effects, and an empirical ab-
sorption correction based on azimutal scan data was applied.19
Compound 8b was prepared according to the above general proce-
dure, starting from 7b (2.59 g, 10 mmol). Recrystallization (MeCN)
of the product gave colorless crystals.

2-Phenyl-7-(phenylsulfanyl)[1,3]oxazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidines
9a,b; General Procedure
A mixture of 8a or 8b (2 mmol), PhSH (0.22 g, 2 mmol), and Et3N
(0.28 mL, 2 mmol) in dioxane (15 mL) was refluxed for 6 h. The di-
oxane was removed in vacuo, the residue was treated with H2O,
dried, and recrystallized.
Structure Solution and Refinement: The structure was solved by di-
rect methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares technique in
the anisotropic approximation using the CRYSTALS program
package.20 In the refinement, 3469 reflections with I ≥ 3s(I) were
used. More than 90% of the hydrogen atoms were located in the dif-
ference Fourier maps. Remaining hydrogen atoms were placed in
calculated positions. All hydrogen atoms were included in the final
refinements with fixed positional and thermal parameters (only H-
