Participants

Reaction Steps

7-Methylthio-4-oxo-2-(2-propoxyphenyl)-3,4-dihydropyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidine (1.55 g) was heated in ethanolic ammonia (50 ml) in a pressure vessel for 8 hours at 90° C. and then for 8 hours at 145° C. After cooling a grey solid (0.64 g) was collected and was recrystallised from ethanol (with charcoal) to yield a crude product (0.47 g) which was recrystallised from ethanol to yield the title compound, 0.29 g, m.p. 261°-262° C.
