Abstract
Selective transformation of 2-propargylthio-6-methyl-pyrimidin-4(1H)On e (2) to 3,5-dimethyl-7H-thiazolo [3,2-a] pyrimidin-7-one (3) is performed under the conditionof base catalysis .
For elucidation of structure, palladium catalyzed cyclization reaction of (2) was carried out and the structures of the products were assigned (5) and
(6). These compounds underwent isomerization to (3) and (4) respectively. From this
result, regioselectivity by base catalysis was concluded
