The acid‐catalyzed reaction of 6‐( N ‐D‐ribityl‐3,4‐xylidino)uracil ( 1 ) with trimethyl ortho‐formate yields a bis(methoxymethylene) derivative ( 2 ), which is readily deprotected to give 5‐deazariboflavin ( 3 ). Correspondingly, 5‐methyl‐5‐deazariboflavin ( 6 ) is produced by cyclization of the tetraacetate of 1 with acetyl chloride in the presence of stannic chloride followed by deacetylation.
