Abstract
Structural characterisation and reactivity of new tetrahedral intermediates based on a highly modular barbituric acid scaffold, formed via chemoselective electron transfer using the SmI2–H2O reagent, are reported. Lewis acid promoted cleavage of bicyclic α-amino alcohols affords vinylogous N-acyliminium ions, which undergo selective (>95 : 5, 1,4 over 1,2) capture with a suite of diverse nucleophiles in a practical sequence to biologically active uracil derivatives.
