Participants

Reaction Steps

5.3 grams of 4-chloro-6,7-dihydro-5H-cyclopentapyrimidin-2-ylamine was dissolved in 200 ml xylene and 30 ml absolute methanol. Then 5.4 gram for sodium methoxide was added and the mixture was refluxed for 3 hours. Then the solvent was removed in vacuo and 100 ml water was added to the residue.
