Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-amino-3-methyl-5-nitrosopyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione in ammonium hydroxide (100 mL) was added sodium hydrosulfite (6.8 g, 39.1 mmol) in small portions at 70° C., the mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 1 h. The mixture was concentrated and ice-water was added. The slurry was filtered and the filter cake was washed with water and ethanol and dried under vacuum to give 5,6-diamino-3-methylpyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (2.0 g, 30.1% yield over two steps) as yellow solid. LCMS MH+ 157.
