4-[2-[2-Ethyl-4-methyl-6-oxo-1,6-dihydro-1-pyrimidinyl]ethoxy]nitrobenzene → 4-[2-[2-Ethyl-4-methyl-6-oxo-1,6-dihydro-1-pyrimidinyl]ethoxy]aniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-[2-[2-ethyl-4-methyl-6-oxo-1,6-dihydro-1-pyrimidinyl]ethoxy]nitrobenzene (1.0 g, 3.3 mmol) (obtained from preparation 20) in 1,4-dioxane (20 ml) was reduced with hydrogen in the presence of 10% palladium on charcoal (100 mg) at 30 psi for 16 h. The mixture was filtered through a bed of celite and washed with dioxane and evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure to yield the title compound (625 mg, 70%).
