Reaction of barbituric acid (BA), 1,3-dimethyl barbituric acid (DMBA) and 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA) with cyanogen bromide and various aldehydes in presence of triethylamine afforded a new class of heterocyclic stable 5-alkyl and/or 5-aryl-1H, 1'H-spiro[furo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6,5'-pyrimidine]2,2',4,4',6'(3H,3'H,5H)-pentaones which are dimeric forms of barbiturate (uracil and thiouracil derivatives) at 0 A degrees C to ambient temperatures. Structure elucidation is proved by X-ray crystallography, H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, FT-IR, CHN and mass analyses techniques. Mechanisms of the formations are discussed.
