Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 5-bromo-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidine-2-carboxylate (4, 0.2 g, 0.81 mmol) in ethanol (4 mL), liquid ammonia (4 mL) was added dropwise at room temperature. The reaction mixture was heated at 50° C. for 16 h. TLC showed consumption of starting material. Solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was treated with methanol (1 mL) and filtered. The solid was washed with diethyl ether and dried under reduced pressure to afford 5-bromo-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidine-2-carboxamide (5) as off white solid. Yield: 0.14 g, 76%; MS (ESI) m/z 218.87 [M+1]+.
