Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 12 g of 1-cyclopropyl-5,6-diamino-2,4-(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione (IV) in 50 ml of formic acid was refluxed for 2 hours. The hot solution was filtered and 30 ml of chloroform was added and ether was then added slowly. The received crystals were filtered off. Yield 11.2 g (V). The amide (V) was refluxed in 40 ml of 2N NaOH for 1 hour and then neutralized with 5N HCl. The crystals were filtered off. Yield 7 g (60%) (VI) NMR (see Table I). ##STR9##
