Photoinduced arylation or alkylation of 1,2,4-triazine-3,5(2H,4H)-diones with hydrazines

Abstract

A light-induced method is developed for synthesizing azauracils. This method is independent from traditional methodology. Remarkably, this reaction can also be powered by sunlight. The applicability of this method is further demonstrated through its successful implementation in large-scale reactions and its use in synthesizing derivatives.
