The mixture was carefully evacuated and backfilled with N2. This was repeated twice. To the mixture was added dichloro[1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]palladium (II)dichloromethane adduct (0.029 g, 0.040 mmol). The mixture was again carefully evacuated and backfilled with N2. This was repeated once. The mixture was then heated at 75° C. for 1.5 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was poured into water (50 mL) and then extracted with EtOAc (2×) and then with 25% iPrOH/CHCl3 (3×). The combined extracts were washed with brine (1×), dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated onto silica. Purification by silica gel chromatography (0 to 2% MeOH (2M NH3)/CH2Cl2) afforded 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-5-phenylpyrimidin-2(1H)-one (0.061 g, 70% yield) as an off-white solid.
