Abstract: The reactivity of 6-aminopyrimidin-4(3H)-ones towards DMAD is
successfully explained by theoretical investigation (PM3 semiempirical
methods). All the PM3 results ( activation energies (AE) for the
transition states and the heat of formation (DH) for the products) support
our previous experimental work [J. Cobo et all. Synlett. 1993, 4, 297-299;
Tetrahedron 1994, 50, 10345-10354]. In those reactions two main products
were obtained: the pyridine derivatives 5 as major ones, which are formed
by a tandem DA/RDA reaction with extrusion of the methylisocyanate
fragment; and 5-ethenylpyrimidin-4(3H)-ones 10 as minor ones, which arised
from a Michael addition, being in competition with the above normal DA.
