The mixture is stirred under nitrogen and subjected to microwave (170° C. for 5 min). The resulting orange suspension is filtered, the solids are washed with more dioxane, and the resulting solution is concentrated and purified by silica gel chromatography (5% to 25% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to yield the 4,6-bis-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-2-methyl-pyrimidine 23 as an oil. 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ=8.03 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 2H), 7.70 (s, 1H), 6.95 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 2H), 3.82 (s, 6H), 2.77 (s, 3H). MS calculated for C19H19N2O2 (M+H+) 306.15, found 306.9.
