Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A process is disclosed for the preparation of 2-substituted 5-nitroso-4,6-diaminopyrimidines. Malonic dini-trile and an amidine are nitrosated in water or alcohol, in an acidic medium, and in the presence of a nitrite salt, to form the corresponding amidine salt of isonitrosomalononi-trile. The latter is converted to the desired end product by heat treatment in a basic medium, in the presence of dimethylformamide or of a pyridine base, and after removal of the water or alcohol.

Description

-I1 ~2~58 I The lnventlon relates to a process for the preparatlon ! f 2-3ubstltuted 5-nltroso-2,6-dlamlnopyrimldlnes.
.1 .
It 19 known that 5-nltroso-2,4,6-trlamlnopyrlmldlne can be prepared from malonlc nltrlle and a guanldlne salt.
2,4,6-Trlaminopyrlmidlne ls obtalned ln moderate yleld by the condensatlon of malonlc dlnltrlle and guanldlne hydrochlorlde or nltrate ln the presence of a sodlum alcoholate ln alcohollc solutlon [W. Traube, Ber. 37, 4544 (1904); H Sato et al., J. Chem. Soc. Japan Pure Chem. Sect. 72, 866 (1951); and Chem. Abstr. 47, 5946 (1953)]. Thls pyrlmldlne 13 then nltrosated to 5-nltroso-2,4,6-trlamlnopyrlmldlne, uslng nltrous acld ~M.F. Mallette et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 69, 1814 (1947)].
such processes have the dlsadvantages that they are too troublesome when relatlvely large amounts have to be prepared and that the maxlmum yleld of 5-nltro~o-2,4,6-triamlnopyrlmldlne 18 75 to 78 percent, relatlve to malonlc dlnltrlle.
Attempts have been made to slmpllry the process by not ,! 1301atlng the lntermedlate product 2,4,6-trlamlnopyrlmldlne (see Swlss Patent Speclflcatlon No 630,616). However, the proce3s stlll has varlous dlsadvantages: expenslve sodlum alchololate has to be used; at least two mols of salt (NaCl and Na acetate) are produced per mol Or malonlc dlnltrlle employed; the reactlon has to be carrled out uslng relatlvely dllute solutlons (approxlmately 2 llters of solvent per mol of product); and flnally, the recovery of the solvent ls a very dlfflcult ~LZ4~958 procedure, slnce a 4-component solvent mlxture (methanol, ethanol, glaclal acetlc acld, water and by-products) ls present.
Another route for the preparatlon of 5-nltroso-2,4,6-trlamlnopyrlmldlne ls descrlbed by C. Taylor, 0. Vogl and C.C.
ln J. Am. Chem. Soc. 81, 2442 (1959). 5-Nltroso-2,4,6-trlamlnopyrlmldlne ls obtalned ln 88 percent yleld by heatlng the potasslum salt Or lsonltroso-malononltrlle wlth guanldlne carbonate ln dlmethylformamlde. Slnce the potasslum salt ls prepared from the sllver salt of lsonltrosomalononltrlle, the process ls unsultable for large-scale lndustrlal productlon.
French Patent Speclflcatlon No. 1,364,734 descrlbes a proceas ln whlch malonic dinitrile in aqueous acetic acid solution is ~lrst nitrosated with sodium nitrite, and then the resultant isonitrosomalononitrile solution is treated with guanldlne carbonate, C02 belng evolved and the guanldlne salt of lsonltrosomalononltrlle belng obtalned. The salt suspenslon 18 then cooled to approxlmately 0C. and flltered, and the guanldlne salt Or lsonltrosomalononltrlle ls drled. After the addltlon of R2C03 to the salt ln dlmethylformamlde, the mlxture ls heated under reflux ln order to effect lsomerlzatlon to 5-nltroso-2,4,6-trlamlnopyrlmldlne.
Such process represents a certaln degree of progress compared wlth the process accordlng to Taylor et al., but lt stlll has several dlsadvantages. Thus, the acetlc acld has to be used ln exoe~s (10 percent, accordlng to the example). Thls excess has to be neutrallzed wlth guanldlne carbonate ln order for the formatlon of the guandlne salt of lsonltrosomalono-nlerlle eO 6 to cc~pleelon~
:' 41~58 Cooling the aqueous suspension to approxlmately 0C.
lnvolves technical dlfficulties, slnce a crust of ice ls formed on the inside of the reaction vessel. When the mixture i9 cooled to temperatures whlch are not quite so low, the salt is not completely preclpltated.
From the polnt of view of safety, drying the guanidine salt of lsonitrosomalononitrile involve rlsks.
In the treatment of crude lsonltrosomalononltrlle solution wlth guanidine carbonate, one equlvalent of C02 ls liberated. The reaction mixture therefore has a tendency to foam during the operation and accordingly the reactlon vessel cannot be optimally utilized.

An obJect of the lnventlon ls to avold the above-mentloned disadvantages. Another object Or the lnventlon 18 to provlde a process whlch makes lt posslble to prepare 2-substituted 5-nltroso-4,6-dlamlnopyrlmldlnes ln a slmple and economlcal manner and ln hlgh yleld.

The amidlne salt of the lsonltrosomalononitrile, in dimethyl~ormamide or a pyrldine base, and in a basic medium, is converted by heat treatment to the corresponding 2-substituted 5-nitroso-4,6-dlamlnopyrlmldlne.
In the process of the lnventlon, the malonlc dinitrlle, in water or alcohol as the solvent, is nltrosated wlth an amldine in an acidic medium and in the presence of a nitrite salt. The amidine salt ox isonitrosomalononitrile is dlreotly ~orme~ In tle quequ: o :lcqùollo :u:p:n:lon. Such ~4~5~3 .1, salt is not isolated; lnstead, the mixture ls rendered basic.
Then, after dimethylformamide or a pyridine base has been added, the water or the alcohol is distilled off under reduced pressure. After the water or the alcohol has been virtually completely removed, the reactlon mixture ls subjected to heat treatment, advantageously heated under reflux. The correspondlng 2-substituted 5-nltroso-4,6-diaminopyrlmldlne ls formed. As used herein acldic medium or acldic pH means a pH

In a preferred embodlment, 5-nltroso-2,4,6-trlamlnopyrlmldlne 18 prepared as follows: malonlc dlnltrlle and guanldlne hydrochlorlde are reacted at a pH of below 6.9 ln the presence of sodlum nltrlte to glve the guanldlne salt of lsonltrosomalononltrlle, and the guanldlne salt of isonitrosomalononitrile 18 converted to 5-nltroso-2,4,6-trlamlnopyrlmldlne by bolllng under reflux ln dlmethyformamlde.
