Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

The obtained 6-amino-3-methyl-5-nitroso-1-phenyluracil (0.25 g) and 5% Pd/C (20 mg) were added to 50 ml of methanol and purging with hydrogen gas was performed, followed by stirring at 70° C. for 2.5 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered while hot to give a filtrate. The solvent methanol was distilled off from the filtrate to yield 5,6-diamino-3-methyl-1-phenyluracil (yield: 0.2 g, or 86% based on 6-amino-3-methyl-5-nitroso-1-phenyluracil).
