Reaction Steps

3-Methyl-5-(3-methyl-butyrylamino)-isothiazole-4-carboxylic acid amide (method 25) (6 g, 25 mmol) was suspended in 150 mL of 30% NH3 and then was heated to 140° C. for 5 h in a pressure reactor. The mixture was cooled and neutralized to pH 7. The reaction mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3×100 mL) and the combined organic layers were washed with water (100 mL), brine (100 mL) and concentrated to get the crude product which was further purified by column (silica gel) chromatography using 30% EtOAc in hexanes as eluent. Concentration of the pure product fractions provided 6-isobutyl-3-methyl-5H-isothiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidin-4-one (2.2 g, 38%) as an off-white powder. 1H NMR (300 MHz) δ 1.05 (d, 6H), 2.32 (m, 1H), 2.69 (d, 2H), 2.82 (s, 3H).
