1,3-Dibromopropane → 3,4-dihydro-7-(2-hydroxyethyl)-8-methyl-2H,6H-pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-6-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 30 parts of 4-hydroxy-2-mercapto-6-methyl-5-pyrimidineethanol, 25 parts of potassium carbonate, 270 parts of N,N-dimethylacetamide and 75 parts of water was stirred at room temperature and 36 parts of 1,3-dibromopropane were added at once: temperature rises to 50° C. The whole was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture was evaporated and water was added to the residue. The solid product was washed with water and dried in vacuo at 100° C., yielding 21 parts (58%) of 3,4-dihydro-7-(2-hydroxyethyl)-8-methyl-2H,6H-pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-6-one; mp. 155° C. (intermediate 166).
