Reaktionsschritte

86 ml (86 mmoles) of 1.0 M sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide in tetrahydrofuran was added drop-wise by addition funnel to a solution of 6.03 g (43 mmoles) 4-methyl-2-(methylthio)pyrimidine and 6.46 g (43 mmoles) ethyl benzoate in 86 ml tetrahydrofuran under a nitrogen atmosphere. After 2 hours the reaction was quenched with saturated ammonium chloride solution. Most of the tetrahydrofuran was removed in vacuo. The residue was diluted with 400 ml ethyl acetate and 200 ml water. The organic layer was separated and washed 2×100 ml saturated sodium chloride solution, separated, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give 10.45 g (42.77 mmoles) of 2-[2-(methyl thio)pyrimidin-4-yl]-1-phenyle thanone as a viscous red-brown oil that solidified upon standing. MH+=244.9.
