Reaction Steps

Ethyl [(2-chloro-5-methoxypyrimidin-4-yl)amino]carbonothioylcarbamate (2) (290 mg, 1.0 mmol), hydroxylamine hydrochloride (143 mg, 2 eq), and sodium bicarbonate (170 mg, 2 eq) were combined. Water (5 mL) and acetonitrile (5 mL) were added at room temperature. The resulting slurry was stirred at room temperature overnight, then treated with 20 drops of saturated aqueous sodium carbonate solution. The resulting solution was sparged with nitrogen and cooled, producing the product as a chalky precipitate, which was collected by filtration (in two crops), washed with water, and dried to obtain the title compound as a solid (139 mg, 68%): mp 251° C.; 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 7.73 (s, 1H), 3.98 (s 3H); 6.63 (s, 2H); 13C NMR (DMSO-d6): 166.30, 148.14, 128.91, 124.67, 57.51; Mass spec (accurate mass): Calcd for C6H6ClN5O 199.026087; found, 199.0256.
