Sulfuric acid magnesium salt (1:1) → 4-Amino-2-(4-hydroxybutylthio)pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6.03 g (25 mmol) of 4-amino-2-(3-ethoxycarbonylpropylthio)pyrimidine in 150 ml of tetrahydrofuran, 0.949 g (150 mmol) of lithium aluminum hydride was added at room temperature, followed by stirring at 60° C. for 2 hours. After the reaction mixture was cooled, water was added little by little to decompose the excess aluminum reagent. After anhydrous magnesium sulfate was added to the mixture, the precipitate was filtered off, after which the solvent was distilled off to yield 8.85 g (88.8%, white crystal) of the desired product.
