hydroxy-6-methyluracil (XVII), and 3-(2-hydroxy-
ethyl)-5-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-6-methyluracil (XVIII).
To 127.8 g (0.9 mol) of 5-hydroxy-6-methyluracil was
powred 800 ml of water, 174 g (2.85 mol) of powdered
KOH was added, and within 20 min was added 230 g
(2.88 mol) of ethylene chlorohydrin (the process occurred
with heat evolution). The reaction mixture was brought
to boiling by heating on a water bath and stirred for 4–
6 h. On cooling the reaction mixture was acidified to pH
6–7 with 1–2 ml of concn. HCl, water was distilled off
under a reduced pressure (50–100 mm Hg) at the bath
temperature 80°C. The precipitated crystals were filtered
off, washed with hot acetone to get in residue KCl.
Acetone was distilled off from the mother liquor, the
residue crystallized on standing. 165 g of crystals
separated by filtration were heated in 350 ml of ethanol
till they dissolved, the insoluble residue was filtered off
through a glass frit. On cooling, filtration, and drying we
obtained 46 g (20%) of compound XVII, mp 227–230°C.
