AUTORECYCLING OXIDATION OF ALCOHOL CATALYZED BY PYRIMIDOPTERIDINES AS A FLAVIN MODEL

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1982.1127

10-Substituted pyrimido<5,4-g>pteridines (II) were prepared by the condensation of 6-alkylamino-5-nitrosouracils (IV) with appropriate 6-chlorouracils.The compounds II oxidized cyclopentanol under neutral conditions to yield cyclopentanone and a remarkable autorecycling in the oxidation was observed.
