Participants

Reaction Steps

4,6-Dimethylpyrimidin-2-ol (10.0 g, 80.6 mmol) was added to sulfuric acid (80 mL) at 0° C. Then potassium nitrate (16.29 g, 161.1 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 hr. The reaction mixture was poured slowly into diethyl ether at 0° C. The precipitated solid was collected by filtration and washed with diethyl ether. A suspension of the solid in ethanol (500 mL) was neutralized with sodium hydrogen carbonate at room temperature. The solid was removed by filtration and the filter cake was washed with ethanol. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound (13.15 g) as a pale yellow solid.
