Chloroacetaldehyde → HCID 178518393, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 6-aminouracil (15.0 g, 0.118 mol) in H2O (600 mL) was added NaOAc (15.0 g, 0.183 mol) and ClCH2CHO (50% in H2O, 30 mL). The mixture was heated at reflux for 4 h and was cooled to room temperature. The resulting dark brown precipitates were collected by filtration to afford crude 7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4-diol (14.4 g, 81% yield).
