Synthesis and properties of 1,3-bis-salicyloyl-5,5-diethylbarbituric and 1,3-bis-salicyloyl-5,5-diethyl-2-deoxybarbituric acids.

1,3-Bis-salicyloyl-5,5-diethylbarbituric acid and 1,3-bis-sacilcyloyl-5,5-diethyl-2-deoxybarbituric acid have been synthesized and found not to isomerize spontaneously. 1,3-Bis-salicyloylbarbital undergoes thermal decomposition giving 2,3-dihydro-4H-benzoxazine [1,3]dione-2,4, carbon monoxide and cyclopentane.
