Reaction Steps

N-Methyl-N'-(1-naphthyl)urea was prepared preliminarily from 1-naphthyl isocyanate and methylamine by the same procedure as in Reference Example 1. The urea compound as the starting material was reacted with cyanoacetic acid to form a uracil ring. Using sodium nitrite a nitroso group was introduced into the 5-position of the uracil ring in the obtained 6-amino-3-methyl-1-(1-naphthyl)uracil and then reduced with hydrogen gas to prepare 5,6-diamino-3-methyl-1-(1-naphthyl)uracil.
