Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Into the same four-necked flask as used in Example 1 was charged a solution of 30.0 g (purity: 96.2 %, 0.209 mole) of crude 2-methyl-4-amino-5-aminomethylpyrimidine dissolved in 300 g of isopropanol, followed by maintaining the temperature of the solution at 10° C. Subsequently, 44 g (1 mole) of carbon dioxide was blown into the solution over about 2 hours and the reaction was carried out to precipitate a white crystal of 2-methyl-4-amino-5-aminomethylpyrimidine carbonate with extreme easiness. Then, the resulting crystal was filtered off, washed with a small amount of isopropanol, and dried in vacuo at 20° C. until it may have constant weight to obtain 37.8 g of 2-methyl-4-amino-5-aminomethylpyrimidine carbonate.
