Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-bromo-5-nitropyridin-4-amine (1.5 g, 6.9 mmol) in acetic acid (20 mL) was added in portions into a 75° C. suspension of iron powder (1.5 g, 27 mmol) in acetic acid (20 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at 75° C. for 2 h, cooled to room temperature, and filtered through celite. To the filtrate was added 1,3-bis(methoxycarbonyl)-2-methyl-2-thiopseudourea (1.4 g, 6.9 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at 65° C. for 60 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and concentrated. The solid residue was triturated with dichloromethane and dried to give the title Compound (1.8 g, quantitative yield) as an orange solid. MS (EI) for C8H7BrN4O2: 271/273 (MH+).
