Reaction Steps

In step 2, 3-(4,5-dimethoxy-2-methyl-phenyl)-2-methoxymethyl-acrylonitrile and sodium methoxide were dissolved in dry DMSO and stirred for 3.5 hours at 85° C. under nitrogen. Guanidine carbonate was then added to the stirring solution, after which the temperature was raised to 125° C. for three hours, during which methanol removed via a Dean-Stark trap. The solution was cooled to room temperature, diluted with water, and the crude filtrate was recrystallized in DMF to yield 5-(4,5-dimethoxy-2-methyl-benzyl)-pyrimidine-2,4-diamine as a white solid. Mp: 232° C. Mass Spec (M+H): 275.
