Reaction Steps

A crude preparation of dimethyl N-[4-[2-(2-acetylamino-4-diacetylamino-1,6-dihydro-6-oxo-5-pyrimidinyl)ethylamino]benzoyl]-L-glutamate hydrate (prepared on a 3.3 mmol scale but without recrystallization) was dissolved in 1N sodium hydroxide (100 ml) and ethanol (50 ml) containing 2-mercaptoethanol (0.25 ml). The reaction was heated with stirring to 55° for 18 hours and then spin evaporated in vacuo to a small volume. The pH of the ice bath cooled solution was adjusted to pH 4 with hydrochloric acid (12 N) to precipiate the product. Recrystallization from methanol/ether gave 0.52 g (38% of theory) of N-[4-[2-(2,4-diamino-1,6-dihydro-6-oxo-5-pyrimidinyl)ethylamino]benzoyl]-L-glutamic acid, mp 180°-185°.
