Procedure
A solution of 5.0 mg. of 4-[(4-acetylamino-2-amino-5-pyrimidyl)-methyl]-2,6-dimethoxy-α,α-dimethylbenzyl alcohol was warmed under reflux for 1 hour in 1 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid. After cooling, the mixture was adjusted to pH 10 with concentrated aqueous ammonia and extracted three times with 2 ml. of ethyl acetate each time. The extract was dried and evaporated. The residue yielded, after recrystallization from methanol, 3.2 mg. of 2,4-diamino-5-(4-isopropenyl-3,5-dimethoxybenzyl)-pyrimidine, having a melting point of 228°-229° C.
