Abstract: Base-catalyzed dehydration of 2-cyanimino-4-hydroxy-4-methyl-5-tosylhexahydropyrimidines gives expected 2-cyanimino-5-tosyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidines. However, acid-catalyzed dehydration leads to mixture of the latter compounds and the products of tosyl group migration, namely 2-cyanimino-4-tosylmethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidines. Plausible explanation of the obtained data is proposed.
