Sodium hydride → 2-(2-Benzyloxyphenoxy)-5-fluoro-4-[3-methyl-2,6-dioxo-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-1-yl]-nitrobenzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4.05 g of 2-benzyloxyphenol and 9.5 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide was added dropwise to a mixture of 0.80 g of sodium hydride and 20 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide under ice cooling, and the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. A mixture of 7.1 g of 2,5-difluoro-4-[3-methyl-2,6-dioxo-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-1-yl]nitrobenzene and 17 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide was added dropwise at the same temperature, and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was poured into ice water, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed once with 1N hydrochloric acid and once with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then concentrated. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to give 8.6 g of 2-(2-benzyloxyphenoxy)-5-fluoro-4-[3-methyl-2,6-dioxo-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-1-yl]-nitrobenzene.
