2-Amino-4,6-dimethyl pyrimidine → N-(2-Chlorobenzene-1-sulfonyl)-N'-(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)carbamimidic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A slurry of 23.8 g (0.10 mole) 2-chlorobenzenesulfonyl chloride, 16.2 g (0.2 mole) potassium cyanate, 15.5 g (0.11 moles) 4,6-dimethyl-2-pyrimidinamine in 150 ml acetonitrile was stirred at reflux for 5 hours. The reaction was cooled to 25° and filtered. The solids were dissolved in water, filtered, and the filtrate acidified to give a solid A. The reaction filtrate was distilled in vacuo to remove solvent. The residue and Solid A were combined, dissolved in 200 ml of 5% sodium hydroxide and extracted with methylene chloride. The aqueous layer was then acidified, the solids collected, washed with water and dried to give 18.9 g (50.6% of theory) of the title compound. The m.p. and IR spectrum of the title compound were identical to those of an authentic sample prepared as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,169,719.
