Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To an ice-cooled solution of thiourea (1 g, 13.14 mmol) and diethyl methylmalonate (3.4 mL, 19.71 mmol) in EtOH (15 mL), NaOMe (2.68 g, 39.41 mmol) was added portionwise. After stirring at 0° C. for 30 min, the reaction was allowed to reach rt and was stirred for another 3 h at rt. The mixture was quenched with diluted acetic acid and the solid was filtered off to yield 2-mercapto-5-methylpyrimidine-4,6-diol as a white solid which was used in the next step without further purification. LC-MS conditions A: tR=0.21 min, [M+H]+=159.11.
