(Graph Presented) The mechanism of the NEt3-catalyzed intramolecular aminolysis of Z-1 in acetonitrile or aqueous acetonitrile solutions is suggested to involve rate-determining collapse of T ± through simultaneous H-abstraction and ethoxide expulsion of E2 process. The evidence for that includes the primary isotope effect of kH/k D, = 1.66 in acetonitrile, general-base catalysis in aqueous buffer solutions, salt effect, and the proposed water-stabilized rate-determining transition states (TS1 and TS2) in the water-titration experiments.
Janus-AT bases: Synthesis, self-assembly, and solid state structures

The high yielding synthesis of heterocycles with defined H-bond accepting and donating capabilities provides for the design of self-assembling structures and specific recognition of biological targets. Herein we report the syntheses and solid-state structures of three self-complementary uracil/thymine derivatives where each presents the standard ADA face inherently complementary to adenine and a synthetically appended DAD face complementary to uracil/thymine. These heterocycles, which have never before been reported or characterized, represent diaminopurine-uracil/thymine hybrids that, in two of the three cases, relate to previously reported heterocyclic hybrids of G and C. All three heterocycles crystallized to afford the first X-ray crystal structures of self-complementary heterocycles capable of ADA-DAD pairing. The potential use in DNA and RNA recognition are briefly discussed.
A multi-component reaction to 5-cyanouracils: Synthesis and mechanistic study

Acetonitrile as a solvent, excess of primary amines as general bases, and a reflux condition make the multi-component reactions of (2-cyanoacetyl) carbamate 1, ethyl orthoformate, and primary amines form 5-cyanouracils 4a-c feasibly. Mechanistic studies o
