4-Fluorobenzylamine → 6-Hydroxy-2,5-dioxo-1,2,3,5-tetrahydro-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine-7-carboxylic acid 4-fluoro-benzylamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of intermediate 5, 6-hydroxy-2,5-dioxo-1,2,3,5-tetrahydro-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine-7-carboxylic acid ethyl ester, (0.035 g, 0.146 mmol) and 4-fluorobenzylamine (0.11 g, 0.88 mmol) in anhydrous ethyl alcohol (5 ml) and N,N-dimethylformamide (2 ml) was heated under reflux for 18 h. The solvent was then evaporated in vacuo and the residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and 0.1 N hydrochloric acid. The organic phase was washed with water and brine then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Evaporation of the solvent and recrystallization of the resulting solid from ethanol gave 0.016 g (34% yield) of the title amide as white crystals. 1HNMR 400 MHz (DMSO-d6) δ (ppm): 4.46 (4H, broad s, 2×CH2), 7.17 (2H, m, aromatics), 7.36 (2H, m, aromatics), 9.07 (1H, broad t, NH), 11.8–12.4 (2H, broad, OH and NH). MS (ESI+) m/z 319 [M+H+].
