Heating N, N-diethyl-3, 9-dialkyladeninium halides (Ig-j) in aqueous sodium hydroxide gave 1-alkyl-5-(alkylamino)imidazole-4-carboxamides (IV) together with minor amounts of 1-alkyl-5-(alkylamino)imidazole-4-carbonitriles (III), which were converted into IV on further heating. N, N-Dimethyl-3, 9-dialkyladeninium halides (Ia-d) underwent hydrolysis more rapidly to provide IV selectively in 90-94% yields.
