Reaction Steps

A solution of 141.8 g (1.48 mole) of guanidine hydrochloride, 59.3 g (1.48 m) of sodium hydroxide and 709 ml of water was added to a solution of 183.4 g (0.74 m) of 2,4,6-trichloropyrimidine in 2127 ml of acetone causing a mild exothermic reaction. After stirring for 1 hour at room temperature, a mixture of solid and oil had formed. Refrigeration caused complete crystallization. The crystals were filtered, then suspended in 1200 ml of water and stirred for 1 hour, filtered, washed with water, then acetone and air dried to give 53.0 g (35%) of 4,6-dichloro-2-guanidinopyrimidine, mp>360°.
