Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4′-({1-[4-(2-hydroxy-1-methylethoxy)phenyl]-2-methyl-6-oxo-4-propyl-1,6-dihydropyrimidin-5-yl}methyl)biphenyl-2-carbonitrile (0.70 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (7 mL) were added 60% sodium hydride (0.07 g) and then methyl iodide (0.18 mL) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred for 1 hr. Ethyl acetate and water were added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give the title compound as a pale-yellow viscous substance (0.53 g, 74%).
