Reaction Steps

A mixture of 120g of 2-(4-benzyloxyphenyl)-5-(4-butylpheny)pyrimidine, 13 g of palladium active carbon, 85 g of triethylamine, four liters of ethanol and one liter of ethyl acetate was stirred under a hydrogen atmosphere. After the palladium active carbon was removed and the solvent was distilled away, the residue was recrystallized by using a mixture of n-heptane and toluene, and 86 g of 5-(4-butylphenyl)-2-(4-hydroxylphenyl)pyrimidine was obtained. This compound showed melting points of 172.5°-173.3° C.
