2-Methyl-2-thiopseudourea → 2-(4-Methylpiperazin-1-yl)-5-nitropyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Nitro-malonaldehyde (1.57 g, 10 mmol) is dissolved in water (15 mL), followed by addition of 2-methyl-isothiourea (1.56 g, 5.6 mmol) and N-methylpiperazine (1.92 mL, 17.3 mL). After stirring at room temperature overnight, it is filtered and washed with water and hexane to yield 1.38 g (62%) of 2-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-5-nitro-pyrimidine as a white solid. MS (ESI) m/z 224.3 (M+H)+1. [Heterocycles. 1977, 6(12), 1999-2004].
