37. Treatment of amide 1a with cyanic bromide did give the corresponding 4-bromopyrimidine albeit in low yields (37-56%).
38. We have considered mechanisms other than direct nucleophilic addition of 2e to an electrophilic intermediate; however, in the absence of any contrary data, a plausible mechanism based on our prior studies is used here.

43. Cyanamide, bis(trimethylsilyl)carbodiimide, and potassium cyanate do not serve as competent nucleophiles under our condensative pyrimidine synthesis reaction conditions; for example, amide 1c and cyanamide did not afford 6u.

54. A variety of 2-thiopyrimidine derivatives were synthesized in low yield (<20%) primarily due to the incomplete activation of the carbamothioates.
