To the residue was added a mixture of ethyl acetate and water, and the mixture was adjusted to pH 9 with 6N-hydrochloric acid. The separated organic layer was washed with brine and dried over magnesium sulfate. Evaporation of the solvent gave a residue, which was purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with a mixture of chloroform and methanol (19:1, V/V). The eluted fractions containing the desired product were collected and evaporated in vacuo to give 2-(furan-2-ylmethyl)-6-methyl-5-n-pentyl-4(1H)pyrimidinone (18.18 g).
