The reaction mixture is heated to reflux temperature and then 4.5 g of methylmercaptan (0.094 mole) are passed in. Subsequently 1.2 g of sodium hydride (0.05 mole) are added at 70° C and the mixture is refluxed for 1 hour. After the reaction mixture has cooled, the sodium chloride precipitate is filtered off with suction and the filtrate is evaporated to yield 11.7 g of 2-methylthio-4-sec.butylamino-5-nitro-6-methylpyrimidine of m.p. 37°-41° C (= 91.5% yield). On recrystallisation from petroleum ether, the melting point of the product rises to 48°-50° C.
