Reaction Steps

8.5 g of 2-amino-4-butylamino-6-chloropyrimidine are dissolved in 150 ml of ethanol. 19.95 g of meta-chloroperbenzoic acid are added dropwise as solution in 150 ml of ethanol. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. 250 ml of water are added and ethanol is then evaporated off. The pH is adjusted to 1 with concentrated hydrochloric acid. After 1 hour's stirring, the precipitate is filtered off on sintered glass, rinsed with 50 ml of water and discarded. The pH of the solution is adjusted to 8 by adding sodium hydroxide. The mixture is extracted with 3×100 ml of dichloromethane. The organic phase is dried over sodium sulfate and then evaporated to dryness. The precipitate obtained is recrystallized from 50 ml of acetonitrile. 2.35 g of 2-amino-4-butylamino-6-chloropyrimidine 3-oxide are obtained.
