Action of guanidine and urea on some hydroxymethylene ketones was written by Benayr, Erich. And the article was included in Berichte der Deutschen Chemischen Gesellschaft [Abteilung] B: Abhandlungen in 1930.Formula: C6H9N3 This article mentions the following:
In general, aliphatic and aliphatic-aromatic hydroxymethylene ketones readily yield the corresponding aminomethylene compounds with primary or secondary organic bases (C. A 24, 4507). In this connection the behavior of MeCOCH:CHOH (I) toward guanidine (II) was also studied. The Na derivative of I reacts with salts of II in alc. at room temperature with formation of 2-amino-4-methylpyrimidine (III), i. e., not only is the HO group replaced by the guanidine residue but ring formation, with further elimination of water, also takes place. The reaction is quite general: analogous products were obtained with the hydroxymethylene derivatives of MeCOEt, MeCOPr, methylheptenone (IV), MeCOPh, MeCOC6H4Me and MeCOC6H4OMe. The III, now readily available, gives with Br in water a Br derivative (V) in which the Br is held exceedingly firmly and must, therefore, be on the nucleus, probably in position 5. With acid chlorides, however, it readily forms N-derivatives; the ClCH2CO compound (VI) with hot alc. NH3 regenerates III in most part while a small part remains unchanged. The pyrimidine formation also takes place with the derivatives of cyclic ketones. Hydroxymethylenecyclohexanone yields Bz-tetrahydro-2-aminoquinazoline (VII) and the hydroxymethylene derivatives of cyclopentanone, menthone and carvone behave in the same way; as these require heat for the reaction and are, in general, more stable than the aliphatic compounds, the desired products are most simply obtained by boiling the free hydroxymethylene compounds with I carbonate in alc. The reaction can be used quite generally to characterize those cyclic ketones which can yield hydroxymethylene derivatives All the bases so obtained do not turn litmus blue and their NH2 group is held very firmly. The bases can be boiled a long time with dilute HCl without appreciable change and HNO2 also generally has no action on them. Hydroxymethylenecamphor (VIII) treated as above gives only a trace of quinazoline (IX) which, however, is obtained quite smoothly in boiling AmOH instead of EtOH. Rupe found that with urea VIII splits off only 1 mol. water to form methylenecamphorurea, and B. has now found that ring formation likewise does not occur in the reaction of VIII with CS(NH2)2 or of hydroxymethylenecyclohexanone with urea. MeCOC(:CHOH)Me behaves in the same way. The hydroxymethylene ketones, therefore, resemble AcCH2CO2Et in their behavior toward urea and II. With hydroxymethyleneacetoacetic ester, II gives iminomethyluracil, resulting from the action of II on AcCH2CO2Et, i. e., the HOCH group is split off in the reaction. III is obtained in 51% yield. 5-Br derivative (V), m. 195鎺?

Methylenemethylethyl ketoneurea, MeCOC(:CHNHCONH2)Me, m. 156鎺? In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 4,5-Dimethylpyrimidin-2-amine (cas: 1193-74-4Formula: C6H9N3).
4,5-Dimethylpyrimidin-2-amine (cas: 1193-74-4) belongs to pyrimidine derivatives. Pyrimidine is an aromatic heterocyclic organic compound similar to pyridine. A Cu-catalyzed and 4-HO-TEMPO-mediated [3 + 3] annulation of commercially available amidines with saturated ketones enables an efficient and facile synthesis of structurally important pyrimidines via a cascade reaction of oxidative dehydrogenation/annulation/oxidative aromatization.Formula: C6H9N3
