Reaction Steps

In other aspects the invention provides a process for the preparation of N-(5-nitro-2-methylphenyl)-4-(3-pyridinyl)-2-pyrimidineamine comprising: (a) reacting 2-methyl-5-nitroaniline with cyanamide in the presence of hydrochloric acid to obtain 1-(2-methyl-5-nitrophenyl)guanidine hydrochloride; (b) converting 1-(2-methyl-5-nitrophenyl)guanidine hydrochloride to 1-(2-methyl-5-nitrophenyl)guanidine nitrate; (c) condensing 3-acetylpyridine with N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal to obtain 3-(dimethylamino)-1-(3-pyridinyl)-prop-2-en-1-one; and (d) reacting 3-(dimethylamino)-1-(3-pyridinyl)-prop-2-en-1-one with 1-(2-methyl-5-nitrophenyl)guanidine nitrate to obtain N-(5-nitro-2-methylphenyl)-4-(3-pyridinyl)-2-pyrimidineamine.
