The process of producing uracil from cyanoacetylurea is as shown in the following formula: It is thought that the addition of one molecule of hydrogen to cyanoacetyl urea produces aldimine, and the ring-closing reaction produces uradyl, but in the presence of the strong acid of the present invention, the first stage hydrogen addition reaction Because the process proceeds extremely smoothly, not only does it not require a large amount of catalyst as in known methods, but the objective can be achieved with a very small amount of catalyst.The second stage ring-closing reaction also proceeds smoothly, resulting in less by-products. There is no formation of uracil, and high purity uracil can be obtained in good yield without any special purification operations.

When carrying out the method of the present invention, an acid-resistant catalyst such as palladium-based or platinum-based catalyst is suitable as the reduction catalyst. For example, when using 5% paldium-carbon powder, 50% By using about 1/2 of the amount, the reduction reaction can be completed within a sufficient time at room temperature. The most suitable reaction temperature is approximately 20 to 70°C. Good results can be obtained by proceeding with the reduction reaction at a low temperature and, after completion of the reduction reaction, raising the temperature to complete the ring-closing reaction.
Since the reduction reaction can proceed at low temperatures, the desired reaction can proceed without the raw material cyanoacetylurea undergoing hydrolysis even in the presence of strong acids.
