Abstract
Two novel preparative methods have been developed for the synthesis of 2,3-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine from 2-aminopyrimidine. These are the reaction with 1,2-dibromoethane and also the reaction with ethylene chloro(bromo)hydrin, subsequent treatment of 1-β-hydroxyethyl-2-imino-1,2-dihydropyrimidine with thionyl chloride, and cyclization of the intermediate 1-β-chloroethyl-2-imino-1,2-dihydropyrimidine in the presence of sodium hydroxide.
