Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4′-[(4-butyl-2-methyl-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidin-5-yl)methyl]biphenyl-2-carbonitrile (1 g), sodium hydride (0.17 g) and N,N-dimethylformamide (10 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 10 min, 1-bromo-3,3-dimethylbutan-2-one (0.75 g) was added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hr. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with 5% aqueous potassium hydrogen sulfate solution and then with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue obtained by silica gel column chromatography was dissolved in methanol (10 mL), sodium borohydride (0.092 g) was added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hr. The reaction mixture was concentrated, and the residue was extracted with ethyl acetate and saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give the title compound as a colorless solid (0.21 g, 16%).
