Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 178509388, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 1.1 g (4.74 mmol) 2-amino-4-(2-furyl)-6-(methylthio)-pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile in 15 ml ethanol under argon was added 1.05 g (14.2 mmol) sodium thiolate and the mixture heated at reflux for 16 h. The reaction mixture was then cooled to room temperature, 20 ml water added, and the mixture made slightly acidic by dropwise addition of concentrated hydrochloric acid. The resulting crystals were collected by filtration, washed with water, and dried in vacuo to afford 0.90 g (87%) 2-amino-4-furan-2-yl-6-thioxo-1,6-dihydro-pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile as a yellow crystalline solid. ES-MS m/e (%): 217 ([M—H]−, 100).
