Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Under the nitrogen atmosphere, 10 g of 2-aminomalonamide and 35.4 mL of triethyl orthoformate were added to 200 mL of 2-propanol. After heating to 80° C., the reaction mixture was stirred for 8 hours at the same temperature. Color of the reaction liquid was pale yellow when the reaction was completed. Subsequently, after cooling to 57° C., the reaction mixture was added with 10 mL of water followed by 8 mL of conc. hydrochloric acid. After cooling with water, the crystal was collected by filtration and then washed with 40 mL of acetone to give 16 g of 5-hydroxy-1H-imidazole-4-carboxamide hydrochloric acid salt dihydrate as a pale yellow crystal.
