Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared by (a) reaction of diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate (5 g, 24 mmol) with 3-nitrobenzamidine (5 g, 25 mmol) to afford 86% of ethyl 4-hydroxy-2-(3'-nitrophenyl)pyrimidine-5-carboxylate in analogy to Example 15, (b) reaction of ethyl 4-hydroxy-2-(3'-nitrophenyl)pyrimidine-5-carboxylate (6 g, 21 mmol) with (chloromethylene)dimethylammonium chloride (4 g, 31 mmol) concentration of reaction mixture, followed by hexane and ether wash afford 45% of ethyl 4-chloro-2-(3'-nitrophenyl)pyrimidine-5-carboxylate, (c) reaction of ethyl 4-chloro-2-(3'-nitrophenyl)pyrimidine-5-carboxylate (1.9 g, 6 mmol) with hydrazine (0.6 g, 18 mmol) to afford 33% of ethyl 4-hydrazino-2-(3'-nitrophenyl)pyrimidine-5-carboxylate in analogy to Example 18, (d) reaction of ethyl 4-hydrazino-2-(3'-nitrophenyl)pyrimidine-5-carboxylate (1.8 g, 6 mmol) with citraconic anhydride in analogy to Example 21, to afford 80% (0.5 g) of the title compound; m.p. 118-120° C.
