Synthesis and biological evaluation of new substituted thioglycolurils, their analogues and derivatives.

A novel series of substituted N-aminothioglycolurils was synthesized by tandem hydrazone formation - ring contraction reaction of 3-thioxoperhydroimidazo[4,5-e]-1,2,4-triazin-6-ones with (E)-3-phenyl(furan-2-yl)acrylaldehyde derivatives. S-Alkyl substituted N-aminothioglycolurils were prepared through alkylation of corresponding thioglycolurils with iodoalkane or 4-chlorobenzylchloride. Methylthio group in S-methyl derivatives can be substituted with hydroxyl group in acid medium to give N-aminoglycolurils.
