Procedure

Ethyl 3-(6-methyl-3-pyridyl)propionate was reacted at 0° with ethyl formate and sodium hydride in 1,2-dimethoxyethane to give ethyl 2-formyl-3-(6-methyl-3-pyridyl)propionate, m.p. 142°-144°, which was heated under reflux with dried nitroguanidine and sodium methoxide in methanol to give 2-nitroamino-5-(6-methyl-3-pyridylmethyl)-4-pyrimidone, m.p. 215°-6° (decomp). p (ii) Reaction of 2-nitroamino-5-(6-methyl-3-pyridylmethyl)-4-pyrimidone with 5-aminopentanol in refluxing pyridine gives 2-(5-hydroxypentylamino)-5-(6-methyl-3-pyridylmethyl)-4-pyrimidone which can be converted into 2-[5-(O-isoureido)pentylamino]-5-(6-methyl-3-pyridylmethyl)-4-pyrimidone by the procedure of Example 5(iii).
