Methyl iodide → 3-[2-Chloro-4-fluoro-5-(3-methyl-2,6-dioxo-4-trifluoromethyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-1-yl)phenoxy]-2-(methoxycarbonylmethoxy)pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 0.10 g of methyl [3-{2-chloro-4-fluoro-5-[2,6-dioxo-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-1-yl]phenoxy}-2-pyridyloxy]-acetate, 1 ml of acetonitrile, and 31 mg of potassium carbonate was added 32 mg of methyl iodide, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hours. Then, 64 mg of methyl iodide was added, and the mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 1 hour. The mixture was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to give 97 mg of methyl [3-{2-chloro-4-fluoro-5-[3-methyl-2,6-dioxo-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-1-yl]phenoxy}-2-pyridyloxy]acetate (compound a-6).
