The Knoevenagel condensation of carbonyl compounds with active methylene compounds was readily carried out with benzyltriethylammonium chloride as a catalytic agent, under solvent-free conditions to produce olefinic products in high yeilds: the scope of this protocol is utilised for the synthesis of the antibacterial agent trimethoprim.

The preparation of a wide variety of 6-substituted trimethoprim analogues was readily accomplished by the reaction of 2,4-diamino-6-substituted-pyrimidines with 2,6-dimethoxy-4-phenol at 120-160 deg C.The less reactive 2,6-dialkyl-4-phenols reacted successfully with 2,4-diamino-6-(alkylthio)pyrimidines to give 5-(substituted benzyl)pyrimidines.The phenolic groups of the products were alkylated in high yield when a nonreactive 6-substituent was present in the pyrimidine ring. 6-(Alkylthio) groups were easily removed with Raney nickel.Trimethoprim was thus obtained in high yield from its 6-(methylthio) counterpart.The 6-substituted trimethoprim analogues all had low activity as inhibitors of Escherichia coli dihydrofolate reductase and as antibacterial agents.

A process for the manufacture of 2,4-diamino-5-(substituted benzyl)pyrimidines from the corresponding 6-hydroxy-derivatives or the hydrochloride thereof by (a) chlorinating with phosphoryl chloride in presence of a considerable excess of hydrogen chloride and (b) hydrogenation of the thus easily in practically pure form and with high yields obtained 6-chloro derivatives.
