Reaction Steps

Sodium (646 mg, 28 mmol) is dissolved in methanol (50 ml) under a nitrogen atmosphere. Cyclopropanecarboximidamide hydrochloride (3.40 g, 28 mmol) is added in one portion. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 0.25 h, then filtered upon hyflocel. The filtrate is concentrated in vacuo. This free base is added to a solution of sodium (1.29 g, 56 mmol) in methanol (50 ml) under a nitrogen atmosphere, at room temperature. Diethylfluoromalonate (5 g, 28 mmol) is added and the mixture is stirred at 60° C. for 5 h. The solvent is evaporated and the yellowish solid obtained is dissolved in 60 ml of water. The pH is adjusted at 6 with a 5 N HCl solution and the white precipitate formed is filtered and dried. 2-cyclopropyl-5-fluoro-4,6-pyrimidinediol 3 (3.6 g, 76%) is obtained as a white powder and used in the next step without further purification.
