The solid material was removed by filtration. The filtrate was recovered and evaporated. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (0-6% MeOH/DCM), affording 2-{[(1-ethyl-4-methyl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)methyl]sulfanyl}-6-methyl-pyrimidin-4-ol (428 mg, 46% yield); 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 1.31 (t, 3H, J=6.7 Hz), 2.11 (s, 3H), 2.22 (s, 3H), 3.95 (m, 2H), 4.48 (s, 2H), 6.02 (s, 1H), 7.54 (s, 1H); M+ 266. The product was used without further purification.
