Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 4-acetylbenzoate (3.00 g, 15.62 mmol) and N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (6.2 g, 52.10 mmol) was refluxed for 18 hours, cooled and concentrated to give ethyl 4-[(2E)-3-(dimethylamino)prop-2-enoyl]benzoate quantitatively. A solution of ethyl 4-[(2E)-3-(dimethylamino)prop-2-enoyl]benzoate, potassium carbonate (3.55 g, 25.74 mmol), and 4-(amidinoamino)benzamide (3.10 g, 12.87 mmol) in ETOH (120 mL) was refluxed for 18 hours. The mixture was cooled, filtered, and washed with ETOH, water, then ether respectively to give ethyl 4-{2-[(4-carbamoylphenyl)amino]pyrimidin-4-yl}benzoate (2.60 g, 46% yield). This compound was refluxed for 2 hours in ETOH (30 mL), water (20 mL), and NaOH (0.640 g, 16 mmol). The reaction mixture was cooled, acidified to pH 3, and filtered to give 1.00 gram (42% yield) of the titled compound. HPLC/ES -MS (20–100% acetonitrile): R.T. 4.7 min.(Method A); (m/z) 335 [M+1]+.
