Dichloromethane → 3-[3-[(Ethoxymethoxy)methyl]-1,2-benzisothiazol-5-yl]-1-methyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3-[3-(hydroxymethyl)-1,2-benzisothiazol-5-yl]-1-methyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione (0.800 g, 0.00224 mol) and methylene chloride is added ethyldiisopropylamine (0.780 ml, 0.00448 mol) followed by chloromethyl ethyl ether (0.310 ml, 0.00336 mol). The resultant mixture is stirred 42.5 hours at room temperature, diluted with ether, washed sequentially with 1 M aqueous hydrochloric acid, saturated sodium bicarbonate and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to a yellow syrup. The syrup is chromatographed on silica gel with hexanes:ethyl acetate to give the product as a white solid which is identified by NMR spectral analysis.
