Reaction Steps

115.0 g (0.75 mol) of phosphorus oxychloride was added to 263.1 g (3.6 mol) of N,N-dimethylformamide, and 45.3 g (0.3 mol) of guanine (manufactured by Sumika Fine Chemicals Co., Ltd.) was then added, followed by stirring at 100° C. for 5 hours. After cooling, the reaction mixture was added to 1500 ml of water containing 315.0 g (3.75 mol) of sodium hydrogen carbonate. The precipitating crystal was collected by filtration and washed with 500 ml of water to yield a crystal of 2-dimethylaminomethyleneamino-6-chloropurine, whose properties are as follows:
