Water → 2-Amino-6-(2-furyl)pyrimidine-4-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-amino-4-chloro-6-(2-furyl)pyrimidine (9.78 g, 50.0 mmol) in DMSO (200 mL) was treated with sodium cyamide (14.7 g, 300 mmol) and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) (0.56 g, 5.0 mmol). The suspension was stirred for 4 days, and more DABCO (5.04 g, 45 mmol) and DMSO (100 mL) were added. The suspension was stirred for a further 2 days, poured onto a mixture of ice (750 g) and water (750 mL), the crude product was filtered off, washed with water and MeCN, and dried in air to give the title compound (7.1 g, 77%) as a brown solid; m.p. 193-194° C.; NMR δH (400 MHz, DMSO) 6.74 (1H, q, J 1.6 Hz), 7.32 (2H, br s), 7.39 (1H, d, J 3.6 Hz), 7.43 (1H, s) and 7.98 (1H, d, J 1.2 Hz); M/Z 187 (M+H)+.
