Infrared Spectrum OF 5-Phenyl-5-[N- (k-AMINOANTIPYRENO) ]-BARBITURIC Acid 123 xi SUMMARY The purpose of this research was to develop a simple method for synthesis of 5-ethylbarbituric acid and 5-phenylbarbituric acid derivatives in which the hydrogen at the 5 position is replaced by an amine function. Due to reports of synergism of numerous drugs with barbiturates, it was considered that such compounds could have thera peutic value. The 5,5-dialkyl barbituric acids are a class of compounds known to possess pronounced hypnotic activity. The 5-ethylbarbituric acid or 5-phenylbarbituric acid was pre pared by condensing the appropriately substituted malonic ester with urea in dry absolute ethanol utilizing sodium ethoxide as the base. The 5-ethylbarbituric acid was then brominated with liquid bromine follow ing dissolution of the barbiturate in hot water. The bromination of the 5-phenylbarbituric acid was accomplished in 0.6 N aqueous sodium hydroxide with bromine water. Replacement of the bromine atom with various amines was accomplished in methanol and the resultant uramil derivative could usually be isolated either following evaporation of the solvent or adjusting carefully the pH of the solution. Twenty-nine new barbituric acids have been prepared by this method. Hydrolytic stabilities of barbiturates may often be correlated with their hypnotic properties. For this reason the stability of each of these compounds was determined in 95 per cent ethanol made 0.3 N in sodium hydroxide. It was found that each compound prepared was rel atively stable to the base described on mixing and after being heated xii in a constant temperature bath for two hours.
