Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-chloro-6-[2-(diethoxyphosphorylmethoxy) ethoxyamino]-2,5-diformamidopyrimidine (2.8 g, 6.6 mmol) in diethoxymethyl acetate (20 ml) was heated at 120° C. for 2 hours. After cooling to ambient temperature, excess solvent was removed under reduced pressure, the residue dissolved in methanol (20 ml) and 0.880 ammonia (6.5 ml) and the solution stirred at ambient temperature for 1 hour. The solvent was evaporated to leave an oil which was chromatographed on silica gel (eluted with dichloromethane: methanol, 98.2) to give the title compound as a pale yellow oil (2.4 g, 90%).
