Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of 4-amino-6-hydroxy-2-mercaptopyrimidine monohydrate (67.7 g) in a mixture of water (920 ml) and tetrahydrofuran (300 ml) was added aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (46-48% w/w; 24 ml) followed by water (40 ml). The resulting hazy, pale yellow solution was cooled to 20° C. before adding 2,3-difluorobenzyl bromide (83.0 g) uniformly over 25 minutes, to yield a white precipitate. The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 3.5 hours, the product collected and washed twice with a mixture of water (68 ml) and tetrahydrofuran (24 ml), to afford the title compound as a white solid (101.89 g).
