7-Chloro-5-(methylthio)imidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidine hydrochloride (10.5 g, 44.5 mmol) was partially dissolved in MeOH (40 mL) and then a solution of potassium hydroxide (11.2 g, 200 mmol) in water (100 mL) was slowly added and the reaction was heated to reflux. The reaction generates methane thiol, so caution was taken to contain this noxious gas in the hood. After 2 hours the reaction was cooled and then neutralized with a solution of 1N HCl to reach a pH of between 6 and 7. The reaction was filtered and the solid was washed with MeOH. The solids were dried on the filter cake and then dried on a high vacuum pump to provide 7-chloroimidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidin-5(6H)-one (6.6 g, 87% yield) as a white solid. MS (apci) m/z=170.1 (M+H).
