Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen atmosphere, a solution of 1.5 grams (0.003 mole) of 3-(4-chloro-6-fluoro-2-hydroxy-3-iodophenyl)-1-methyl-6-trifluoromethyl-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione, 0.41 gram (0.004 mole) of phenylacetylene, and 0.71 gram (0.007 mole) of triethylamine in 25 mL of DMF was stirred. To this was added 0.09 gram (0.00013 mole) of dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)pallidium (II) and 0.05 gram (0.00026 mole) of copper (I) iodide. Upon completion of addition, the reaction mixture was heated to 70° C. where it stirred for 2.5 hours. After this time, the reaction mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and then poured into 150 mL of an aqueous 10% ammonium chloride solution. The resulting precipitate was collected by filtration and washed with water. The precipitate was taken up in 120 mL of ethyl acetate. The resulting solution was dried with sodium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to a brown solid. The solid was recrystallized using 1:1 chloroform and petroleum ether, yielding 0.31 gram of Compound 280. The mother liquor was concentrated to a residue. The residue was recrystallized using petroleum ether to yield an additional 0.21 gram of Compound 280, m.p. 215-216° C. The NMR spectrum was consistent with the proposed structure.
