Abstract

By treating 8-aminotheophylline with hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid in aqueous alkali we have obtained 7,8-diaminotheophylline and studied its reactions with benzaldehyde, 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds, and acylating agents. We have established that in reactions with electrophiles, the N-amino group in 7,8-diaminotheophylline is more active than the amino group situated at the 8-position. An unexpected self-condensation of two molecules of 7,8-diaminotheophylline has been found in acid medium, leading to a purino[8,7-g]-7-azapteridine derivative.
