Formaldehyde → HCID 67389135, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 7 ml portion of DMF solution containing 685 mg of 2-{[4-(aminomethyl)phenyl]amino}-4-[(3-methylphenyl)amino]pyrimidine-5-carboxamide dihydrochloride was mixed with 0.45 ml of triethylamine, 420 mg of 35% aqueous formalin and 1.09 g of sodium triacetoxy borohydride, followed by stirring overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture was mixed with water, concentrated and then purified by a silica gel column chromatography (chloroform:methanol:aqueous ammonia) to obtain crude crystals. This was dissolved in a methanol-ethyl acetate mixed solution and mixed with 1 ml of 4 M hydrogen chloride/ethyl acetate solution, and the thus precipitated crystals were collected by filtration and further recrystallized (methanol-water) to obtain 164 mg of 2-({4-[(dimethylamino)methyl]phenyl}amino)-4-[(3-methylphenyl)amino]pyrimidine-5-carboxamide dihydrochloride as colorless crystals.
