Abstract
In the absence of bases all the attempted variations for the alkylation of tetrahydropyrimidine-2(1H)-thione with á-halocarboxylic acids gave only the bicyclic product-2-R-6,7-dihydro-5H-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-3(2H)-one hydrohalide. However the hydrohalide of the “ open” S-ethoxycarbonyl derivative of propyleneisothiourea can be obtained by treatment of tetrahydropyrimidine-2(1H)-thione with ethyl chloro-or bromoacetate in anhydrous acetone at room temperature. Alkylation of 5,5-dimethyltetrahydro-2(1H)-pyrimidinethione with chloro-or bromoacetic acid in anhydrous acetone at room temperature gave the hydrohalide of the “open” S-carboxymethyl derivative of dimethylpropyleneisothiourea. All remaining variations for the alkylation of this substrate with á-halocarboxylic acids or their esters gave only the corresponding bicyclic compounds-the hydrohalide of 2-R-6,6-dimethyl-6,7-dihydro-5H-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-3(2H)-one-independently of the reaction conditions.
