Abstract

In an investigation into the electrophilic nitrosation reactions of a series of 4,6-disubstituted pyrimidine derivatives, a subtle interplay between the electronic nature of the C-4 and C-6 substituents and reactivity was found where these were chloro-, mono- or disubstituted amino groups. Effects such as the presence of an aryl group or two alkyl groups on the amino moiety impede the progress of the reaction despite the presence of a second activating group.
