Popis: A general and mild method for the synthesis of 2,4-diamino-5-benzylpyrimidines was achieved by the Friedel-Crafts reaction between 2-(methoxymethylene)-3-methoxypropanenitrile (10) and an activated aromatic substrate followed by treatment with guanidine. The method is illustrated by a synthesis of ormetoprim (2) in 75% overall yield from 3,4-dimethoxytoluene (12). Efficient syntheses of trimethoprim (1) and 2 were also accomplished via prior base-catalyzed 1,3-prototropic isomerization of cinnamonitriles 19 and 20, respectively, followed by condensation with guanidine
