6-(Bromomethyl)-2,4-pteridinediamine hydrobromide (1) is readily converted to 2-amino-6-(bromomethyl)-4(1H)-pteridinone hydrobromide (2) by treatment with 48percent hydrobromic acid.Compound 2 is of interest for direct attachment of the (2-amino-3,4-dihydro-4-oxo-6-pteridinyl)methyl group to appropriate side-chain precursors of analogues of folic acid, particularly those bearing functional groups incompatible with conditions required for hydrolytic deamination of the corresponding 2,4-diaminopteridine analogues.An example of the use of 2 in this connection is demonstrated through synthesis of 10-propargylfolic acid.
