(2-Hydroxyethyl)urea Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

Synthesis of 1-hydroxy-ethyl-6-aminouracil (compound 1) Metal sodium (2.8 g, 120 mmol) was added carefully in 90 mL of ethanol anhydride in a 200 mL mad apple-type flask with a stirrer coated with fluoropolymer in ice bath with constant stirring and was completely dissolved. Then, 6.3 g (60 mmol) of hydroxyethylurea and 6.4 mL (60 mmol) of ethylcyanoacetate were added and refluxed for seven hr. The obtained solution was filtrated, washed with ethanol, solubilized in water, neutralized with 1.0 M diluted hydrochloric acid, filtrated and provided white pellets, which were recrystallized in water and gave compound 1 as a white crystal (6.1 g, 35.6 mmol, yield: 59.4percent); 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 400 MHz): delta 3.54 (t, 2H, NCH2CH2, 9.6 Hz), 3.83 (t, 2H, CH2OH, 9.6 Hz), 4.57 (br, 1H, CHCNH2), 5.09 (br, 1H, OH), 6.61 (br, 2H, NH2), 10.32 (br, 1H, NH); 13C NMR (DMSO-d6, 100 MHz): delta 44.13 (NaC2CH2), 59.28 (CH2OH), 76.52 (CHCNH2), 151.87, 157.04, 162.89.
