6-Amino-1-methyluracil → 1-Methyl-6-hydroxyaminouracil

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2 g of 1-methyl-6-aminouracil, 2 g of hydroxylamine hydrochloride and 30 ml of methyl-cellosolve is boiled for 2 hours, after which the insolubles are filtered off. The filtrate is concentrated to dryness and tritulated with water. The resultant crystals are recovered by filtration and recrystallized from ethanol. By the above procedure is obtained 1.5 g of the captioned compound as pale-yellow crystals, melting point: 247°-250° C. (decomp.).
