Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To 3.13 g. (15 mM) of 2-amino-6-(m-chlorophenyl)-4-pyrimidinol is added 80 ml. of glacial acetic acid. The solution is heated to 80° C. and 0.81 ml. of Br2 is added. The mixture is allowed to stir at 80° C. for 15 minutes and cooled to 25° C. The mixture is evaporated to dryness under vacuum at 40° C. and the resulting solids heated at reflux with 150 ml. of water. The reaction mixture is cooled and filtered, and the solids washed very well with cold water. The solids are dried at 60° C. in a vacuum oven and pulverized when dry. The boiling water tritration is repeated. 3.90 G. (86.9%) of title compound is recovered. Recrystallization of the solids from water:DMF by adding DMF slowly to a stirring slurry of 3.9 g. of compound in 150 ml. boiling water until solution occurs, cooling and filtering yields analytically pure material (80% recovery).
