Procedure

Water (2.7 mL) is added dropwise to a suspension of 1-methylpyrimidine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-trione (14.2 g, 100 mol) in POCl3 (95 mL) at 0° C. The reaction mixture is then heated at 80° C. for 5 hours. The resulting brownish solution is cooled, and POCl3 is evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue is treated with MeOH, and the obtained solid is recrystallized from ethanol to give 11.5 g product (Yield: 71.6%). m.p.=279-282° C. (dec) [Lit.2: 280-282° C.]. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ3.10 (S, 3H), 5.90 (S, 1H), 12.4 (br, 1H).
