Reaction Steps

5-(2-Methoxy-pyridin-4-ylmethyl)-2-thioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrimidin-4-one (900 mg, 3.61 mmol, 1 eq) was refluxed in an acetic acid, glacial (12 ml)/HCl conc. (12 ml) mixture for 7 hours. (150° C. on display of heating device). Solvent from the mixture was evaporated as much as possible. In the mixture was added 20 ml of water. pH of the mixture was adjusted to 4-5. The resulting precipitate was collected and was dried. It was obtained 5-(2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-pyridin-4-ylmethyl)-2-thioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrimidin-4-one (645 mg, yield=72.1%, purity=95%) in form of white powder.
