Abstract π,π*‐Excitation of 4,6‐dimethyl‐2‐pyrimidinol in methanol leads to an addition product 5 whereas in 2‐propanol a dihydrodimer 3 is formed. By acid catalysis the dihydrodimer gives the 5, 9‐methano‐2 H ‐pyrimido[5,6‐ e ] [1,3]diazepine‐2,7(1 H )‐dione 7 which with stronger acids rearranges to the 2 H ‐cyclopentapyrimidin‐2‐one 8 . Nitrous acid reacts with the dihydrodimer yielding the dioxime of 2‐hydroxy‐4,6‐pyrimidinedicarbaldehyde.
