Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-amino-3-(4-methoxybenzyl)-1-methylpyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (4.3 g, 16.45 mmol) in water (20 mL) and acetic acid (20 mL) was added sodium nitrite (3.4 g, 49.4 mmol) in small portions at 70° C. After addition, the mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 4 h. The reaction was cooled and concentrated. The solids were collected, washed with water and dried under vacuum to give 6-amino-3-(4-methoxybenzyl)-1-methyl-5-nitrosopyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (4.1 g, 85.9% yield) as purple solid. LCMS retention time 0.885 min; LCMS MH+ 291.
