Water → methyl N-(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)-N'-(2-phenylphenyl)sulfonylcarbamimidothioate

Participants

Reaction Steps

12.3 g of 2-amino-4,6-dimethylpyrimidine was suspended in 300 ml of dimethylformamide, and 4 g of sodium hydroxide (oily 60%) was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. Furthermore, 33.7 g of dimethyl N-(2-biphenylylsulfonyl)carbonimidodithioate was added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for a day and night. The reaction mixture was poured into 2 liters of water, and filtered. When the filtrate was made weakly acidic, white crystals precipitated. The crystals were collected by filtration, and recrystallized from ethanol to give 29.2 g of the desired 1-(2-biphenylylsulfonyl)3-(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)2-methylisothiourea of the following formula, mp. 154°-157° C.: ##STR18##
