Studies on organophosphorus compounds—XXXVI

Studies on organophosphorus compounds. Part 1: synthesis and in vitro antimicrobial activity of some new pyrimido[5',4':5,6]pyrano[2,3-d][1,3,2]thiazaphosphinine compounds

2,4-Bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,2,4-dithiadiphosphetane-2,4-disulfide (Lawesson's reagent, LR) reacted with pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4-(1H,3H)-dione derivatives in boiling acetonitrile to afford various pyrimido[5',4':5,6]pyrano[2,3-d][1,3,2]thiazaphosphinine derivatives. The structures of the target compounds were characterized by elemental analysis and spectral data. The biological activities of all synthesized compounds were tested against various microorganisms by the disk diffusion method. In general, the newly synthesized compounds showed good inhibitory effects against most of the applied microorganisms.

Thiation of 2'-deoxy-5,6-dihydropyrimidine nucleosides with Lawesson's reagent: characterisation of oxathiaphosphepane intermediates

Treatment of 2'-deoxy-3',5'-dithexyldimethylsilyl-5,6-dihydrouridine with Lawesson's reagent led to the expected C4-thiolated derivative together with a number of oxathiaphosphepane isomers which resulted from the heat reversible incorporation of an AnPS2 unit within the 2'-deoxyribose moiety explaining the subsequent anomerisation of the 5,6-dihydropyrimidine nucleosides.
