The synthesis of 2, 4‐diamino‐6‐(3, 4, 5‐trimethoxybenzyl)pyrimidine (isotrimethoprim) has been accomplished starting from 2‐( O ‐methyl)‐6‐(3, 4, 5‐trimethoxybenzyl)uracil by standard procedures. The benzyluracil derivative has been obtained by reacting O ‐methylisourea sulphate and ethyl 3, 4, 5‐trimethoxyphenacetylace‐tate.
