Reaction Steps

6-Amino-2-[2-(pyridin-2-yloxy)-ethoxy]-4-morphlinopyrimidine (1.90 g, 6.00 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) was dissolved in 8 mL HOAc, and 8 mL H2O was added. The solution was cooled to 0° C., and NaNO2 (0.414 g, 6.00 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 hour. Water (20 mL) was added to dilute the slurry, and the solid was collected by filtration, washed with water, EtOAc (2 mL), then dried to yield 6-amino-2-[2-(pyridin-2-yloxy)-ethoxy]-4-morphlino-5-nitroso-pyrimidine (1.47 g, 4.25 mmol, 85% yield) as blue solid. The nitroso compound (1.385 g, 4.00 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) was treated with 5 mL water and enough 2 N HCl so that a clear dark blue solution was formed. Na2S2O4 (2.79 g, 16.00 mmol, 4.0 equiv.) was added in three portions, and the solution was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The resulting clear yellow solution was carefully neutralized with cold 2 M NaOH solution, and subjected to EtOAc extraction. 5,6-Diamino-2-[2-(pyridin-2-yloxy)-ethoxy]-4-morphlinopyrimidine (0.80 g, 2.41 mmol, 60%) was obtained as light yellow solid after usual workup.
