The batch was cooled to between −5 and 0° C. and concentrated hydrochloric acid was charged slowly, keeping the temperature within the range of −5 to +5° C. until a pH of 1.5 was reached (22.5 ml conc. HCl used). The batch was agitated for-about 1.5 hours at about 2.7° C. The solid product was recovered by filtration. The batch was dried under vacuum at 40–45° C. The 2,4,6-trimethylpyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid was recrystallized from ethyl acetate. m. p. 163–164° C., 1H NMR (CD3OD): δ2.43 (6H, s, CH3), δ2.52 (3H, s, CH3). 13H CMR (CD3OD): δ170.42, δ168.30, δ166.09, δ126.63, δ25.64, δ22.97. HR-MS; Calculated for C8H11N2O2, m/z=167.0821. Found 167.0816.
