Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

131 mg (0.293 mmol) of 4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-6-methyl-2-(methylthio)-N-(3-phenylpropyl)-5-pyrimidinecarboxamide was dissolved in 5 ml of dichloromethane. 101 mg (0.586 mmol) of mCPBA (m-chloroperbenzoic acid) was added thereto at 0° C. and stirred at the same temperature for 6 hours. 1 ml of saturated aqueous sodium bisulfite solution was added thereto at the same temperature and stirred for 30 minutes heating to room temperature. After the reaction mixture was diluted with dichloromethane, the organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was dissolved in 5 ml of methanol and excessive amounts of 565 mg (2.93 mmol) of sodium methoxide (28% methanol solution) was added at room temperature and stirred at 60° C. for 6 hours. After concentration under reduced pressure, the obtained residue was diluted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by the silica gel chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=10/1 to 1/1) to obtain the title compound.
