Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Concentrated hydrochloric acid (0.80 mL) was added to a solution of tert-butyl-6-(hydroxymethyl)pyrimidin-4-ylcarbamate (0.50 g, 2.2 mmol) in MeOH (10 mL). The reaction was stirred at 25° C. for 1 hour and then concentrated under reduced pressure to give the desired compound (0.50 g) as a pale yellow solid, which was used in the next step without further purification. LCMS (ESI) m/z: 126.0 [M+H+].
