Procedure

To a solution of (1E)-N′-[amino(methylthio)methyl]-N,N-dimethylethanimidamide hydrogen iodide salt (73.0 g, 0.26 mole) in dry dichloromethane (900 mL), was added ethyl 3-chloro-3-oxopropanoate (44 mL, 95% Lancaster, 0.34 mole) was added under a nitrogen atmosphere. The mixture was stirred for 4 h at room temperature, cooled to 0° C. then triethylamine (107 mL, 0.78 mole) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred overnight. The solvent was removed and H2O was added. The pH was adjusted to pH=5.0 with acetic acid and extracted with ethylacetate then evaporated and crystallized from the appropriate solvent (Ethylacetate-Hexanes mixture solvent, approximately 20% ethylacetate-Hexanes). This afforded ethyl 4-methyl-2-(methylthio)-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidine-5-carboxylate (36.5 g, 62% yield) after drying under vacuum.
