Regioselective Aryl Radical Cyclization: Access to Pyrimidine-Annelated Spiro Heterocycles Through 5-exo Ring Closure
Publication History
Publication Date:
05 July 2004 (online)

Abstract
Aryl radical cyclization of a range of 6-(2′-bromophenoxymethyl)-1,3-dimethyluracils 4a-g was carried out with tributyltin chloride and sodium cyanoborohydride in the presence of AIBN for four hours to give exclusively the ‘5-exo’ cyclization products, 1,3-dimethylspiro[pyrimidine-6,3′-2′,3′-tetrahydrobenzofuran]-2,4-diones 5a-g in 92-95% yield. The starting materials were in turn prepared in 90-92% yield by refluxing 6-chloro methyl-1,3-dimethyl uracil with various 2-bromophenols or 2-bromonaphthol in acetone in the presence of anhydrous potassium carbonate for eight hours.
