Water → 4-Amino-5-(2-methoxy-4-methylmercapto-benzoylamino)-pyrimidin-2,6-dione

Participants

Reaction Steps

Twenty grams of 2-methoxy-4-methylmercapto-benzoic acid is dissolved in 260 ml of dimethylformamide, mixed with 13 gm of N,N'-carbonyl-diimidazole, and stirred for 30 minutes at ambient temperature. Then, 13 gm of 4,5-diamino-pyrimidin-2,6-dione are added, and the reaction mixture is refluxed for three hours with stirring. After cooling, it is poured into 1 liter of water. The product precipitated is suction filtered, washed with water, and dried at 70° C. in a circulating air drier.
