6{[(Dimethylamino)methylene]amino}-1-(2-hydroxy-3-phen-
oxypropyl)-5-[1,2-bis(ethoxycarbonyl)hydrazino]uracil (7)
A stirring mixture of uracil 9 (1.0 g, 3.03 mmol) and DEAD (0.53
g, 3.15 mmol) was refluxed in toluene (20 mL) for 8 h. The toluene
was removed in vacuo to give a dark red oil. A small amount of
EtOAc was added to the residue, the suspension was cooled, and the
separated product was collected by filtration. The Michael adduct
was washed with EtOAc and dried in vacuo to give the product as
orange crystals. Yield: 1.29 g (84%); mp 70 °C.

The structure of compound 5 was established by X-ray crystallog-
raphy (Figure 2). Colorless single crystals of 5 were obtained by
slow evaporation from MeOH–CHCl3 (20:80) soln. The unit cell di-
mensions were determined using the least-squares fit from 25 re-
flections (25° < q < 35°). Intensities were collected with an Enraf-
Nonius CAD-4 diffractometer using the CuKa radiation and a
graphite monochromator up to q = 45°. The data were collected to
relatively low resolution, i.e. no reflections were observed for q
>45° with lCu. The data were corrected for Lorentz and polarization
effects and for empirical absorption correction.15 Structure 5 was
determined by direct methods SHELX 8616 and refined using
SHELX 9717 suite of programs. Crystallographic data for structure
8 in this paper have been deposited with the Cambridge Crystallo-
graphic Data Centre as supplementary publication number CCDC-

6-Amino-1-(2-hydroxy-3-phenoxypropyl)uracil (6)
Michael adduct 7 (1.30 g, 2.58 mmol) was heated in nitrobenzene
(7 mL) between 190–200 °C for 1.5 h. The solution was then cooled
to 10 °C. A small amount of Et2O was added, and the resulting solid
was filtered and washed with Et2O. The crude product was then
crystallized (EtOH) and obtained as beige crystals. Yield: 0.28 g
(31%); mp 184 °C.
To a solution of Na (1.29 g, 56 mmol) in anhyd EtOH (100 mL) was
added 8 (3.62 g, 14 mmol). The resulting solution was refluxed for
8 h and the solvent was then removed in vacuo. The solid residue
was dissolved in H2O and the obtained solution was acidified to pH
5–6 with aq HCl. The precipitate was collected by filtration, washed
with EtOH and then petroleum ether, and dried to give the product
as pale yellow crystals. Yield: 2.44 g (63%); mp 182 °C.

A stirring mixture of 6-aminouracil 6 (4.26 g, 15.4 mmol), DMFD-
MA (1.93 g, 16.2 mmol), and anhyd toluene (40 mL) was refluxed
for 6 h. The mixture was cooled and filtered to remove small
amounts of the starting amine. After evaporation of the toluene so-
lution, the crude product was purified by column chromatography
(CH2Cl2–MeOH, 4:1) to give yellow crystals. Yield: 3.63 g (71%);
