Sodium Hydroxide → 4-(Bicyclo[1.1.1]pentan-1-ylamino)-2-(methylthio)pyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid

Ethyl 4-(bicyclo[1.1.1]pentan-1-ylamino)-2-(methylthio)pyrimidine-5-carboxylate (120 g, 0.43 mol) was dissolved in ethanol (1.5 L) followed by the addition of an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (530 mL, 1.06 mol, 2M) and the resulting mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. After that the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure (<42° C. bath temperature). The mixture was diluted with 500 mL of water and washed with tert-butyl methyl ether (2×500 mL). The aqueous layer was treated with aqueous hydrochloric acid solution (2N) to pH 4.2-4.5. The resulting solids were collected by filtration followed by washing with water (500 mL) and hexanes (500 mL). The wet cake was dried under reduced pressure overnight at 45° C. to afford the desired compound (108 g, 0.43 mol, 100% yield) as an off-white solid (116 mg, 0.365 mmol, 54.7% yield); 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ ppm 8.52 (s, 1H), 2.55 (s, 3H), 2.52 (s, 1H), 2.24 (s, 6H)
