Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5,6-diamino-3-propyl-1H-pyrimidine-2,4-dione (2.0 g, 11.0 mmol), 6-Chloro nicotinic acid (1.86 g, 11.8 mmol) in methanol (40 ml) were cooled to 0° C. and added EDCI.HCl (4.2 g, 22 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 20 hours and the solvents were removed under reduced pressure. To this residue water (20 ml) was added and the precipitate was filtered off, and washed sequentially with cold water (20 ml) and methanol (5 ml) to obtain N-(6-Amino-2,4-dioxo-3-propyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-pyrimidin-5-yl)-6-chloro-nicotinamide as an off white solid. (2.47 g, 70%).
