摘要
The decarboxylation of 1,3-dimethylorotic acid was investigated to study the nature of the reaction intermediate. 6-Benzyl-1,3-dimethyluracil was isolated when the decarboxylation was carried out in benzyl bromide, indicating the involvement of a carbon-6 centered nucleophilic intermediate in the reaction pathway.
