Hydroxyamine hydrochloride → 5-Chloro-8-methoxy[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidin-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Hydroxylamine hydrochloride (280 mg, 4 eq), and sodium bicarbonate (210 mg, 2.5 eq) were combined in water (5 mL) and stirred for 5 minutes. Ethyl [(2-chloro-5-methoxy-pyrimidin-4-yl)amino]carbonothioylcarbamate (2) (290 mg, 1.0 mmol), suspended in t-butanol (15 mL) was added at room temperature. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 5 hours, and then treated with 10 drops of saturated aqueous sodium carbonate solution. The reaction slurry was then filtered, and the product solids washed with water and dried to obtain the title compound as a off white solid (330 mg, 83%) that was identical in HPLC retention to previously described 5-chloro-8-methoxy[1,2,4]triazolo-[1,5-c]pyrimidin-2-amine (4).
