Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Under the nitrogen atmosphere, 10.0 g of 2-aminomalonamide and 44 mg of sulfuric acid were added to 200 mL of 2-propanol. After heating to 80° C., 35.4 mL of triethyl orthoformate was added dropwise to the mixture over 10 minutes. Subsequently, the reaction mixture was stirred for 7 hours at 80° C. Color of the reaction liquid was deep blue when the reaction was completed. Subsequently, after cooling to 58° C., the reaction mixture was added with 10 mL of water followed by 8 mL of conc. hydrochloric acid. After cooling the reaction mixture to 5° C., the crystal was collected by filtration and then washed with 40 mL of acetone to give 15.6 g of 5-hydroxy-1H-imidazole-4-carboxamide hydrochloric acid salt dihydrate as a green crystal.
