Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl α-(3,4-dimethoxybenzyl)acetoacetate (42 g) and 2,4,6-triaminopyrimidine (21 g) in diphenyl ether (120 ml) was heated at 190°-230° C. for 2 hours during which time the ethanol and water formed were azeotropically removed. The reaction was cooled, and methanol (250 ml) and ethanol (50 ml) were added. The resulting solid was collected by filtration and treated with boiling water (1) to give 2,4-diamino-5-methyl-6-(3,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-7-oxo-7,8-dihydropyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine (26 g), m.p. 346°-348° C.
