Procedure
To a stirred mixture of guanidine hydrochloride (1.91 g, 20.0 mmol) and diethyl methylmalonate (3.48 g, 20.0 mmol) in ethanol (30 ml) was added sodium methoxide (2.7 g, 50.0 mmol, 25% in methanol) dropwise. The cloudy mixture was stirred at 60-70° C. for 16 hours. After evaporation of volatiles under reduced pressure, the residue was treated with 1.0 M hydrochloric acid until pH=2. Filtration and drying provided 2-amino-4,6-dihydroxy-5-methyl-pyrimidine (2.5 g, 90% yield) as a white powder.
