Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Under the nitrogen atmosphere, 5.00 g of 2-aminomalonamide and 20 mg of formic acid were added to 80 mL of 2-propanol. After heating to 81° C., 17.7 mL of triethyl orthoformate was added to the mixture over 14 minutes. Subsequently, the reaction mixture was stirred for 6 hours and 33 minutes at 83° C. Subsequently, after cooling to 58° C., the reaction mixture was added dropwise with 5 mL of water followed by 4 mL of conc. hydrochloric acid. After cooling the mixture to 20° C., the crystal was collected by filtration and then washed with 20 mL of acetone to give 8.05 g of 5-hydroxy-1H-imidazole-4-carboxamide hydrochloric acid salt dihydrate as a yellow crystal.
