Formamidine acetate → Ethyl 4-methylpyrimidine-5-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Intermediate 51 (9.7 g, 52.4 mmol) and Formamidine acetate (5.4 g, 52.4 mmol), were dissolved in EtOH and added NaOEt (3.6 g, 52.4 mmol). This mixture was refluxed for 6 h. After that, ethanol removed on rotavapour followed by work-up (AcOEt/H2O) to obtain the crude. Crude was purified by column chromatography using 60-120 mesh silicagel and AcOEt and Petether (25:75) as eluent to obtain the title compound (2.7 g).
