Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4.0 g (0.016 mole) of 4-amino-2-(phenoxymethyl)pteridine and 400 ml of 5% aqueous sodium hydroxide is brought slowly to 95° C. and maintained at this temperature for 2 hours. After cooling, the solution obtained is acidified with acetic acid to pH 5.5. The precipitate formed is isolated by filtration. It is purified by recrystallization from ethanol. Yld: 2.8 g (70%), m.p. 220°-221° C.
