Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 36 parts of 5-(2-hydroxyethyl)-6-methyl-2-[(1-methyl-2-oxopropyl)thio]-4(3H)-pyrimidinone and 240 parts of a hydrobromic acid solution 60% in acetic acid was stirred and heated for 4 hours at 90° C. The reaction mixture was evaporated and the residue was suspended in 400 parts of 2-propanone. The solid product was filtered off, washed with 2-propanone and dried, yielding 44 parts of 6-(2-bromoethyl)-2,3,7-trimethyl-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one monohydrobromide; mp. 172° C. (intermediate 7).
