Methanol → 5-(thiophen-2-yl)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2,4-bis(benzyloxy)-5-(thiophen-2-yl)pyrimidine (Prep21, 20 g, 53.5 mol) in dry dichloromethane (400 ml), iodotrimethylsilane (28.8 g, 0.14 mol) was added at room temperature. The resulting solution was stirred for 3 hours. Then methanol was added, the precipitate was filtered and the solid was recrystallized with methanol twice, to afford 7 g of the title compound (y=67.3%)
