2-(Dimethylaminomethyl)-4-(2-aminoethylthiomethyl)thiazole → 2-[2-(2-Dimethylaminomethyl-4-thiazolylmethylthio)ethyl]amino-5-[2-(3-pyridyl)ethyl]-4-pyrimidone

Participants

Reaction Steps

Following the procedure of Example 12, a mixture of 1.29 g. of 2-(2-dimethylaminomethyl-4-thiazolylmethylthio)ethylamine and 1.37 g. of 2-methylthio-5-[2-(3-pyridyl)ethyl]-4-pyrimidone in 25 ml. of anhydrous pyridine was heated to refluxing temperature for about 4 days. The solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in ethanol and the ethanol evaporated. The residue was purified by high pressure liquid chromatography over silica using a gradient elution technique with an ethyl acetate/ethanol/ammonium hydroxide solvent system as the eluant. Fractions shown by tlc to contain the desired product were combined and the combined fractions rechromatographed on a silica preparative plate using 3% ammoniated ethanol as the solvent. 2-[2-(2-Dimethylaminomethyl-4-thiazolylmethylthio)ethyl]amino-5-[2-(3-pyridyl)ethyl]-4-pyrimidone free base thus prepared was converted by standard procedures to the trihydrochloride salt which melted at 226°-228° C. after recrystallization from an ethanol/ethyl acetate/ether solvent mixture. Yield=1.0 g.
