THE STRUCTURE OF 2-AMINO-4-HYDROXY-6-SUBSTI-TUTED-DIHYDROPTERIDINE DERIVATIVES PREPARED BY REDUCTION WITH HYDROSULFITE

Abstract

Based on inhibition tests of yeast alcohol dehydrogenase and nuclear magnetic resonance studies, the 7, 8-dihydro structure of 2-amino-4-hydroxy-6-substituted-pteridines was shown to be the one prepared by reduction with hydrosulfite.
