Ethanol → 2,5-Diamino-4,6-dichloropyrimidine

N-(2-Amino-4,6-dichloro-5-pyrmidinyl)formamide (Example 3, 500 mg, 2.42 mmol) was dissolved in 0.1 N hydrochloric acid (5 mL, 2.5 mequiv) and ethanol (7 mL) at reflux. The solution was refluxed for 5 hours. Volatles were removed in vacuo. The residue was partitioned between water (30 mL) adjusted to pH 8 with dite ammonium hydroxide and ethyl acetate (75 mL). The ethyl acetate layer was dried (sodium sulfate). Evaporation of the ethyl acetate left pink solid (0.40 g). Recrystallization of the solid from 95% ethanol gave the title compound (IV) as light pink needles (280 mg, 65%); darkens and shrinks to black solid above 185° C., does not become fluid below 300° C.; 1H-NMR (DMSO-d6) and mass spectra identical to those described in Example 4.
