Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of the (S)-methyl 3-((6-carbamoyl-2-chloropyrimidin-4-yl)amino)-2-hydroxypropanoate (0.421 g, 1.53 mmol) and 7M ammonia in MeOH (10 mL, 70 mmol) were heated in a sealed tube at 50° C. overnight. The precipitated solid was filtered off from the warm reaction mixture, rinsed once with 5 mL MeOH, and air-dried to give (S)-6-((3-amino-2-hydroxy-3-oxopropyl)amino)-2-chloropyrimidine-4-carboxamide as a light tan powder (0.372 g, 1.43 mmol, 94% yield). LC/MS: m/z=260.1 [M+H]+.
