When the carbocyclic amine obtained from compound 14 was used in the condensation acyl group migration from the ester reaction with 2,4-dichloro-5_aminopyrimidine, to the amine interfered with the reaction. On the other hand, use of the carbocyclic amine generated from compound Is, gave the desired condensation product in acceptable yields. However, the final cyclization step did not go to completion due to the ease with which the free allylic alcohol reacted with triethyl orthoformate. Y. F. Shealy and J. D. Clayton, J.
