Abstract

Expansion of the xanthine ring system has been accomplished by linear formation of a benzo, pyrido or pyrazino ring between the pyrimidine and imidazole portions.

Zusammenfassung

Durch Einbau eines Benzo-, Pyrido- oder Pyrazino-Ringes zwischen den Pyrimidin- und Imidazoleinheiten wurde die lineare Expansion des Xanthin-Ringsystems erreicht.

Chem. 273, 269: 2-methylbenzimidazoles react with hypochlorite to give unstable N-chloroimides which easily transfer Cl to replace one or more H in the benzene ring. A similar reaction may explain the formation of dichloro derivatives in the lin-benzo-xanthine Series I.
