Reaction Steps

To a solution of (E)-N′(1-benzyl-4-methyl-5-nitro-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidin-2-yl)-N,N-dimethylformimidamide (64.7 g, 0.2 mol) in DMF (254 mL) was added DMF-dimethylacetal (54.5 mL, 0.41 mol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 3 h at 65° C., cooled, and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was triturated with ethanol, and the solid was collected by vacuum filtration (69.2 g, 91%) and used in the next step without further purification.
