Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-isobutoxy-3-nitrobenzoyl chloride (538 mg, 2.09 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (2 mL) was dropwise added to a suspension of 4,5,6-triaminopyrimidine sulfate (466 mg, 2.09 mmol) in aqueous 1M sodium hydroxide (4.18 30 mL) under cooling with ice. The resulting mixture was stirred for 4 hours at the same temperature. Water (12 mL) was added to the reaction mixture. The precipitated solid product was collected by filtration, dried in air, and subjected to silica gel column chromatography. The elute using chloroform/methanol (10/1) gave 144 mg (yield 20%) of the desired compound in the form of a yellow powdery product.
