Reaction Steps

To a 250 ml single neck round bottom flask equipped with a reflux cndensor and an argon inlet was added 3.32 gm of the 5-pyrimidyl-2,4-dichlorophenylcarbinol and 70 ml of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran. The system was cooled to 0° C. and after cooling 0.34 gm sodium hydride was added. The system was stirred for an additional 20 minutes and 3.16 gm of 4-phenylbenzylchloride was then added. The system was allowed to come to room temperature and stirred there for 1 hour. Afterwards, the system was heated at reflux for 48 hours. At this time, water was added to the system and the product extracted with methylene chloride. The methylene chloride extract was washed with water and dried over sodium sulfate. The methylene chloride was removed by stripping to give 3.66 m of the 5-pyrimidyl--2,4-dichlorophenylcarbinol 4-phenylbenzylether --Compound 12 in Table I.
