Reaction Steps

Ethyl 4-amino-3-methylthiazoline-2-thione-5-carboxylate (1.4 g, 6.4 mmoles), prepared according to the procedure of Gewald, J. Prakt. Chem., 32, 26-30 (1966), was suspended in approximately 40 ml of ethanol. Acetamidine hydrochloride (0.6 g, 6.4 mmole) and 2.77 g (12.8 mmole) of a 25% solution of sodium methoxide in methanol were added to the suspension and the resultant mixture refluxed for approximately 20 hours. The ethanol was removed in vacuo and the residue was suspended in water and neutralized with concentrated hydrochloric acid. The resultant precipitate was filtered and dried to provide 1 g of 3,5-dimethyl-6H-thiazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidin-7-one-2-thione. The structural assignment was confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance spectral analysis.
