5-Aminoorotic acid derivatives

The 2,4,8-trioxo derivative of pyrimido[5,4-d][1,3]oxazine was synthesized, and esters and amides of 5-acetamidoorotic acid were obtained from it. The acetyl group in 5-acetamido-orotic acid esters is readily hydrolyzed in acidic media to give esters of 5-aminoorotic acid, while the acetyl group in amides of 5-acetamidoorotic acid do not undergo hydrolysis.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 270–272, February, 1973.Deceased.
