Participants

Reaction Steps

6.4 g of α-cyano-β-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-propionaldehyde dimethylacetal, 3 g of β-hydroxyethylguanidine sulfate and 1.1 g of sodium methylate in 100 ml of ethanol were refluxed for 5 hours. The ethanol was then distilled off and the residue was dissolved in 100 ml of water. On extracting the solution with chloroform, 3.4 g (50% of theory) of 2-(β-hydroxyethylamino)-4-amino-5-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzyl)-pyrimidine were obtained, melting at 146° C. after recrystallization from isopropanol.
