The reaction mixture was heated to 80° C. for 16 h. Then the mixture is cooled to room temperature, diluted with water, and extracted with EtOAc (2×50 mL). The combined organic layer was washed with water, brine, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated at reduced pressure to yield ethyl 6-(dimethylamino)-5-methylpyrimidine-4-carboxylate (45) as a light yellow liquid; yield: 60 g (72%).
