Reaction Steps

Glacial acetic acid (90 ml) is added to fuming nitric acid (40 ml) at 0° C. The solution is warmed to 30° C. and 2-cyclopropyl-4,6-pyrimidinediol 4 (35 g, 0.25 mol) is added in portions. The temperature is kept between 30 and 40° C. After 1 h, the mixture is poured onto crushed ice and filtered. The filtrate is concentrated to 50 ml in vacuo. Methanol is added and the precipitate is filtered and dried. Pure 2-cyclopropyl-5-nitro-4,6-pyrimidinediol 17 (39.8 g, 81%) is obtained and used in the next step without further purification.
