Reaction Steps

The 3-methyl-5-(3-methyl-butyrylamino)-isothiazole-4-carboxylic acid amide (method 25) (45.8 g, 190 mmol) was suspended in 700 ml of 30% NH3 and then was heated to 140° C. for 5 h in a pressure reactor. The mixture was poured into a 4 L beaker and cooled in an ice bath. To the cold solution con HCl (560 ml) was added dropwise to pH 7.5 and a white precipitate was formed. The precipitated product was filtered off, washed with water (100 ml) and dried under vacuum overnight. 6-Isobutyl-3-methyl-5H-isothiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidin-4-one (11 g, 26%) was isolated 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).
