Tetrahydrofuran → HCID 12764185, compound

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 dimethylformamide. To the solution was added 0.6 g of about 50 % sodium hydride and the whole was stirred for 20 minutes at room temperature, and then heated up to 90°C. To this was added dropwise a solution of 7.5 g of 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl p-toluenesulfonate and 20 ml of tetrahydrofuran and the mixture was reacted for 2 hours. After the reaction was complete, the solvent was removed from the resulting mixture by distillation, and to the residue obtained was added water to precipitate a crude product. This product was recrystallized from methanol to yield 3.2 g of 1-(m-nitrophenyl)-3-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione as pale yellow prisms, melting at 228-229°C.
