Reaction Steps

A mixture of α-trifluoromethylacrylic acid (350 mg; 2.5 mmoles), urea (170 mg: 2.8 mmoles) and acetic anhydride (1 ml) in dimethyl-formamide (2 ml) was stirred at 100° C. for 40 minutes. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was recrystallized from ethanol to give 290 mg (yield: 64%) of 5-trifluoromethyldihydrouracil.
