The behavior of 6-methyl-2-thiouracil towards wittig-horner reagents

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/10426509908037009

6-Methyl-2-thiouracil (1) reacts with Wittig-Horner (2a-e) reagents to give the new products 3,4,6,7 and 9 along with the alkylated derivatives 5,8 and 10. When 1 was treated with 2e and/or 2f, the alkylated compound 10 is the sole reaction prduct. Possible reaction mechanism are considered and the structural assignments are based on compatible analytical and spectroscopic results.
