1,3-Propanediamine → 4-[2-(2,2,2-Trifluoroethyl)guanidino]-2-(3-aminopropylamino)pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-[2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-guanidino]-2-methylsulphinylpyrimidine (0.3 g.) and 1,3-diaminopropane (1 ml.) was heated to 90° for 3 hours. The mixture was evaporated to dryness and the residue taken up in 2 N aqueous acetic acid. The solution was washed with ether, basified with 17 N NaOH and the mixture extracted five times with ether. The combined ether extracts were dried and evaporated to dryness to give 4-[2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)guanidino]-2-(3-aminopropylamino)pyrimidine (0.27 g.) which was characterised as the tris hydrogen maleate, m.p. 159° after recrystallisation from acetone.
