Reaktionsschritte

A solution of 50 g of crude 2-methyl-4-amino-5-aminomethylpyrimidine (purity: 95.0%, 0.344 mole) dissolved in 250 g of methanol was charged into a four-necked flask equipped with a stirrer, an introducing tube for carbon dioxide, a reflux condenser and a thermometer, followed by maintaining the temperature of the solution at 20° C. Subsequently, 64 g (1.45 mole) of carbon dioxide was blown into the solution over about one hour and the reaction was carried out to precipitate a white crystal of a 2-methyl-4-amino-5-aminomethylpyrimidine carbonate with extreme easiness. Then, the resulting crystal was filtered off, washed with a small amount of methanol, and dried at 20° C. until it may have constant weight to give 61.8 g of 2-methyl-4-amino-5-aminomethylpyrimidine carbonate.
