Guanidine Hydrochloride → 6-(2-Furyl)-5-(4-pyridyl)-2,4-pyrimidinediamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

After sodium (3.2 g, 139 mmol) was dissolved in anhydrous ethanol (200 mL), 4-pyridyl acetonitrile hydrochloride (10.0 g, 64 mmol) and 2-furaldehyde (6.1 mL, 73.6 mmol) and guanidine hydrochloride (7.0 g, 73.3 mmol) were successively added thereto. After stirring at room temperature for 1 hour, it was heated under reflux for 7 hours. After cooling as it was, the insoluble matters were filtered off, washed with tetrahydrofuran, and the solvent was removed from the filtrate. Tetrahydrofuran (200 mL) and activated manganese dioxide (30.0 g) were added to the residue, followed by heating under reflux for 2.5 hours. After cooling as it was, the manganese dioxide was filtered through Celite, and washed with tetrahydrofuran. The collected filtrate was concentrated, and then methanol was added to the residues. The resulting precipitates were collected by filtration and washed with methanol, to give the title compound (3.48 g, 21%) as a pale brown solid.
