The starting bromo- barbituric acids were obtained via bromination of their respective 5-phenylbarbituric acid in 0.6 N aqueous sodium hydroxide with bromine water. Phenothiazine, with its known pharmacological properties such as anthelmintic and antihistaminic activities, was selected as the first model amine compound. From the failure of the formation of substitution derivative, namely 5-phenyl-5-[N-(phenothiazinyl)]- barbituric acid, it was suggested that two possible factors, the facile oxidation process of phenothiazine or the steric hindrance around the nitrogen atom, might be responsible. In order to study these possibilities, the phenothiazine derivative, 10-(3-methylaminopropyl)phenothiazine which would be free of steric hindrance at the reactive nitrogen position, was synthesized in two steps: the preparation of 10-(3-chloropropyl)phenothiazine and the reaction of this with methyl amine. The possibility of a steric hindrance around the nitrogen atom was eliminated or at least minimized but even so, the reaction with 5-bromo-5-phenylbarbituric acid yielded no substitution product. Another approach was studied by reacting the compound carbazole (which has essentially the same carbon skeleton xii as phenothiazine except it lacks a sulfur atom in the ring) with 5-bromo-5-phenylbarbituric acid. Although no reaction was observed in this case, its derivative,
