Fluorocontaining 1,3-Dicarbonyl Compounds in the Synthesis of Pyrimidine Derivatives

Hexafluoroacetylacetone reacts with urea (thiourea) to yield respectively 4,6-bis(hydroxy)-4,6-bis(trifluoromethyl)hexahydropyrimidin-2-one(thione). The dehydration of the products and also reaction of nonsymmetrical fluoroalkyl-containing 1,3-diketones with urea (thiourea) afford substituted pyrimidines. The condensation of fluorinated 3-oxoesters and 1,3-diketones with benzaldehyde and urea (thiourea) results in 5-alkoxycarbonyl(acyl)-4-hydroxy-2-oxo(thioxo)-6-phenyl-4-fluoroalkylhexahydropyrimidines that on dehydration furnish 5-alkoxycarbonyl(acyl)-2-oxo(thioxo)-4-phenyl-6-fluoroalkyltetrahydropyrimidines. Ethyl 7-nonafluorobutyl-5-phenyl-2,3-dihydrothiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylate hydrobromide forms in reaction of dibromoethane with ethyl ether of 2-thioxo-4-phenyl-6-nonafluorobutyltetrahydropyrimidine.
