Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (E)-N′-(1-(4-methoxybenzyl)-3-methyl-2,6-dioxo-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-4-yl)-N,N-dimethylformimidamide (7.8 g, 24.7 mmol) in methanol (90 mL) was added ammonium hydroxide (155 mL, 28% wt/wt) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 48 h. The reaction was concentrated to give crude product which was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with methanol/DCM (1:15) to give 6-amino-3-(4-methoxybenzyl)-1-methylpyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (4.3 g, 66.6%) as yellow solid. LCMS retention time 0.445 min; LCMS MH+ 262.
