Methyl fluorosulfate → 1-(m-nitrophenyl)-3-methylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(m-nitrophenyl)pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione and 30 ml of dry dimethlformamide was dimethylformamide 0.6 g of about 50 % sodium hydride, and stirring was performed for 30 minutes. To this was added dropwise 2.3 g of methyl fluorosulfate and the mixture was reacted for one hour at room temperature. Then the mixture was neutralized with 5 % sodium carbonate solution and concentrated under reduced pressure to leave a residue, to which was added water to yield a crude product. This products was recrystallized from acetone to give 2.6 g of 1-(m-nitrophenyl)-3-methylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione as pale yellow prisms, melting at 234°-235°C.
