Participants

Reaction Steps

15.8 g (0.2 mol) of 2-methylthio-4,6-dihydroxypyrimidine are added while stirring well, to 100 cc of sodium hydroxide solution 2N and the mixture is stirred at 50° for half an hour. The mixture is subsequently cooled to room temperature and 13.9 g (0.11 mol) of dimethyl sulphate are added dropwise, while stirring; by the addition of sodium hydroxide solution 2N the pH value is kept at between 8 and 8.2. After the dropwise addition a precipitate is obtained. The mixture is stirred at 50° for a further 21/2 hours, whereby the pH value is kept at between 8 and 8.3, then cooled to 0° and filtered. The obtained white powder has a M.P. of 193°-195°.
