6‐Thioxanthopterin ( 13 ) was synthesized in four steps starting from 2‐amino‐4‐(penthyloxy)pteridine ( 3 ) via the 8‐oxide 4 , its subsequent interconversion to the 6‐chloro ( 7 ) and 6‐thio derivative ( 12 ) and final hydrolysis of the pentyloxy group. 7‐Thioisoxanthopterin ( 15 ) was derived analogously from 2‐amino‐4‐(pentyloxy)pteridine‐7(8 H )‐thione ( 14 ) by alkaline hydrolysis. The various 6‐ and 7‐thiopteridines were methylated to give the corresponding 6‐ ( 10, 11 ) and 7‐(methylthio) derivatives ( 16, 17 ). The newly synthesized compounds have been characterized by elemental analyses, their UV spectra, and the determination of the acidic and basic p K a values. The spectral relationships are discussed in detail.
