Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-butyl-6-methylpyrimidin-4(3H)-one (3.38 g) and 4′-(bromomethyl)biphenyl-2-carbonitrile (6.64 g) in acetonitrile (50 mL) was added cesium carbonate (8.61 g), and the mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 12 hr. The insoluble material was filtered off, and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give the title compound (2.09 g, 29%) as a colorless viscous substance.
