Reaction Steps

A solution of 3.5 g. of 2-mercapto-4-phenylpyrimidine in 50 ml. of 1 N sodium hydroxide is cooled to near 0° C. and 2.94 g. of methyl iodide is added. After stirring at room temperature for 2 hours, the product is recovered by filtration. Recrystallization from methylene chloride-hexane affords the desired compound, m.p. 87°-89° C.
