Treatment of 6-arylthiouracils with the Vilsmeier reagent (dimethylformamide-phosphorus oxychloride) gave the corresponding 6-arylthio-5-formyluracils, which could alternatively be prepared by the condensation of 6-chloro-5-formyluracils with thiophenols.Dehydrative cyclization of the above 5-formyluracils with polyphosphoric acid gave 1-benzothiopyranopyrimidine-2,4-(3H)diones (10-thia-5-deazaflavins).These 10-thia-5-deazaflavins oxidized alcohols to give the corresponding carbonyl compounds with the aid of strong base, and they were hydrogenated to 1,5-dihydro-10-thia-5-deazaflavins.Treatment of 10-thia-5-deazaflavins with the concentrated aqueous potassium hydroxide led to the exclusive formation of 1,5-dihydro-10-thia-5-deazaflavins and 1,5-dihydro-10-thia-5-deazaflavins-5-ones via intermolecular oxidation-reduction (disproportionation) between initially formed 1,5-dihydro-5-hydroxy-10-thia-5-deazaflavins and unchanged 10-thia-5-deazaflavins.
