In an investigation into the electrophilic nitrosation reactions of a series of 4,6-disubstituted pyrimidine derivatives, a subtle interplay between the electronic nature of the C-4 and C-6 substituents and reactivity was found where these were chloro-, mono- or disubstituted amino groups. Effects such as the presence of an aryl group or two alkyl groups on the amino moiety impede the progress of the reaction despite the presence of a second activating group.

A series of 8-substituted analogues of 9-(3-aminobenzyl)-6-(dimethylamino)-9H-purine (8) were synthesized and tested for their ability to bind to the benzodiazepine receptor (BZR) in rat brain tissue.The most active compound was the 8-bromo-9-(3-formamidobenzyl) analogue 16 (IC50 = 0.011 μM), which was 1000-fold more active than the parent 9-benzyl-6-(dimethylamino)-9H-purine (1) and nearly as active as diazepam.Although substitution of a m-formamido group and an 8-bromo substituent on 1 imparted potent BZR binding activity, neither 16 nor 17 analogues exhibited significant anxiolytic activity on a modified Geller-Seifter conflict schedule.
