Sodium Carbonate → 2-Methyl-4-amino-5-pyrimidine aldoxime

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 8.6 g of 2-methyl-4-amino-5-formylpyrimidine, while stirring at room temperature in a mixture of 272 ml of methanol and 68 ml of water, was added dropwise 10 ml of an aqueous solution containing 5.1 g of hydroxylamine hydrochloride. The reaction was allowed to proceed for further 4 hours at room temperature. To the reaction solution was added dropwise 30 ml of an aqueous solution containing 3.90 g of sodium carbonate to cause precipitation of crystals. The crystals were collected by filtration and dried under reduced pressure to give 7.45 g (yield 78.2%) of 2-methyl-4-amino-5-pyrimidine aldoxime. The mother liquor was subjected to quantitative determination (by absolute calibration curve method) of 2-methyl-4-amino-5-pyrimidine aldoxime by means of high performance liquid chromatography to confirm that 1.95 g (yield 20.5%) of the object compound was produced. The total yield of the crystals thus obtained and the object compound in the mother liquor was 98.7%.
