Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-2,4-dimethylpentane-1,3-dione (MDK, 1.00 g, 4.5 mmol), N-methyl guanidine hydrochloride salt (0.49 g, 4.5 mmol) and Cs2CO3 (2.61 g, 8.0 mmol) in MeTHF (10 mL) was stirred at 40° C. for 10 h. The resulting suspension was cooled down to room temperature. Water (10 mL) and MeTHF (10 mL) were added. Layers were separated and the water layer was back-extracted with MeTHF (10 mL). The combined MeTHF fractions were washed with brine (20 mL) and dried over magnesium sulphate. Then, approximately 90% of the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and methanol (5 mL) was added to the resulting oily residue. White crystalline precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with ice-cold methanol (5 mL) and dried to afford the pyrimidine derivative CMDK (1.1 g, 92%) as pale yellow solid.
