• -hydroxy-6-methyluracil, etc.). One of the successful methods for hydroxylation is peroxydisulfate oxidation. By modifying the Elbs reaction through catalysis and the introduction of additional oxidants, we have been able to significantly increase the yields of practically useful compounds. Keywords

• : oxidation; 6-methyluracil; peroxydisulfate; phthalocyanine catalysts; pyridine; Introduction The Elbs and Boyland–Sims peroxydisulfate oxidation reactions offer a convenient means of introducing the hydroxy function into phenols and aromatic amines [1]. The oxidation of phenol using peroxydisulfate was

• as 6-methyluracil (MU), 1,3,6-trimethyluracil (TMU), and pyridine (Py), and the results of the experiments are presented in this article. The hydroxy derivatives of MU and Py, obtained through oxidation followed by acid hydrolysis, possess compelling biological properties, rendering them practically

• first step, the unoptimized desulfurization of 2-thio-6-methyluracil using Raney-Nickel to form 6-methyl-4-hydroxypyrimidine (Scheme 2). It turned out I was a wiz at this organic synthesis lark (as Derek liked to say). I took the yield from 73% to quantitative by doing what organic chemists do, changing
