Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-(3-pyridylmethyl)-2-thiouracil (11.0 g), methyl iodide (7.1 g) and sodium hydroxide (4.2 g) in water (150 ml) and ethanol (150 ml) was stirred at 65° for 40 minutes, allowed to cool and acetic acid was added to pH5. The solution was partially evaporated, cooled and filtered to give 5-(3-pyridylmethyl)-2-methylthio-4-pyrimidone, m.p. 247°-9° (ex. ethanol-acetic acid).
