Hydrochloric Acid → 3-Methoxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4-dione hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

6-(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)-3-methoxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4-dione (1.0 g) was suspended in 4 N hydrochloric acid in ethyl acetate (10 ml) and the resultant mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. The reaction solution was distilled away under reduced pressure. To the residue, methanol was added and the solvent was distilled away under reduced pressure. This was repeated three times to obtain the titled compound (790 mg) as a white powder. The resultant compound was used in a next reaction without further purifying.
