N-(2-Amino-6-(2-furyl)-5-nitropyrimidine-4-yl)-6-chloropyridine-3-carboxamide → N-(2,5-diamino-6-(2-furyl)pyrimidin-4-yl)-6-chloropyridine-3-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of N-(2-amino-6-(2-furyl)-5-nitropyrimidine-4-yl)-6-chloropyridine-3-carboxamide (153 mg, 0.423 mmol) and 10% Pd/C (82 mg, 42.3 μmol) in EtOH (20 mL) and EtOAc (5 mL) was stirred under an hydrogen atmosphere for 3 h, filtered through Celite and concentrated in vacuo to give N-(2,5-diamino-6-(2-furyl)pyrimidin-4-yl)-6-chloropyridine-3-carboxamide as a yellow oil. A solution of this product in EtOH (5 mL) and 2-M HCl (5 mL) at 0° C. was treated dropwise with an ice-cold solution of sodium nitrite (87 mg, 1.27 mmol) in water (2 mL). The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 h, stirred at room temperature for 1 h, neutralised with 5-M NaOH, stirred for 16 h and the resulting solid was filtered to give title compound (40 mg, 28%) as a brown solid.
