Water → 1-(m-nitrophenyl)-3-allylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione

Participants

Reaction Steps

2.8 g of 1-(m-nitrophenyl)pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione was dissolved in 30 ml of dry dimethylformamide. To the solution was added 0.6 g of approximately 50 % sodium hydride and stirring was performed for 30 minutes. To this was added 3.4 g of allyl iodide and the mixture was reacted for 3 hours at room temperature. Then the solvent was evaporated from the mixture under reduced pressure. To the residue obtained was added water to precipitate a crude product. Recrystallization of this product from methanol gave 2.3 g of 1-(m-nitrophenyl)-3-allylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione as pale yellow prisms, melting at 188-189°C.
