[2‐Alkylthio‐6‐methyl‐4‐oxopyrimidin‐3(4__H__)‐yl]acetonitriles (3‐5) treated with sodium methoxide in methanol followed by ammonium chloride were cyclized to 2‐imino‐7‐methyl‐2,3‐dihydroimidazo[1,2‐a]‐pyrimidin‐5(1__H__)‐ones (6‐8). Under acid or base‐catalyzed hydrolysis they were converted to 7‐methyl‐imidazo[1,2‐a]pyrimidine‐2,5‐[1__H__,3__H__]‐diones (9‐11), whereas in the reaction with butyl‐ or benzylamine the corresponding 7‐methyl‐2‐(substitutedamino)imidazo[1,2‐a]pyrimidin‐5(3__H__)‐ones (13‐18) were produced. The latter were found to exist in two tautomeric forms in CDCl~3~ solution.
