Participants

Reaction Steps

Cytosine (5.55 g) is suspended in dry pyridine (100 ml). Using a syringe, benzoyl chloride (6.4 ml) is then added dropwise. A virtually clear solution is formed from which a precipitate separates out after approximately 5 minutes. Stirring is continued for approximately 2 hours at room temperature, methanol (100 ml) is then added, and the mixture is concentrated in vacuo. The residue is stirred with isopropanol, filtered, washed with a small amount of methanol and diethyl ether, and dried in vacuo.
