Procedure

Sodium (0.25 g) was dissolved in ethanol (5 ml), thiourea (0.77 g) added, and the mixture stirred under reflux for 1 hour. A solution of ethyl 2-formyl-3-(5-pyrimidyl)propionate (1.99 g) in ethanol (5 ml) was added slowly, and reflux continued for 18 hours. The solvent was evaporated, and the residue taken up in water and washed with dichloromethane. The aqueous solution was acidified to pH 5, and the precipitate filtered off, washed with water and dried to obtain 5-(pyrimid-5-ylmethyl)-2-thiouracil (0.71 g). 1H-NMR (d6-DMSO) δ3.58 (2H,s), 7.54 (1H,s), 8.70 (2H,s) and 9.02 (1H,s). MPt 265-6° C.
