Reaction Steps

5,6-Dihydro-4-hydroxyfuro[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2-amine [Svab, Budesinski and Vavrina, Collection Czech. Chem. Commun. 32, 1582 (1967)] can be converted to 2-amino-5-(2-chloroethyl)-4,6-dichloropyrimidine by heating with phosphorus oxychloride. The product can be subsequently cyclized by treatment with two equivalents of aqueous sodium hydroxide to afford 4-chloro-5,6-dihydrofuro[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2-amine, which is then converted to 5,6-dihydro-4-methoxyfuro[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2-amine by heating with excess sodium methoxide in methanol. ##STR38##
