Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of N-(4,6-dichloro-2-methylsulfanyl-pyrimidin-5-yl)-2-(2,6-dichloro-phenyl)-acetamide (10 g, 25 mmol), thiourea (1.9 g, 25 mmol), and EtOH (100 mL) was added formic acid (0.8 mL) at rt. The resulting mixture was heated to 90° C. After 12 h, the reaction mixture was cooled and concentrated. The resulting residue was collected by vacuum filtration and washed with H2O (50 mL) followed by hexanes (50 mL). The title compound purified by FCC to afford 2-(2,6-dichloro-benzyl)-5-methylsulfanyl-thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidin-7-ol (1.6 g, 18%) and 2-(2,6-dichloro-benzyl)-7-ethoxy-5-methylsulfanyl-thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine (4 g, 41%) as colorless solids.
