Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4.46 g (25 mmol) of 1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)piperazine and 5.52 g (25 mmol) of 6-chloromethyl-2-phenyl-4-pyrimidone in 90 ml of absolute N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) was warmed to 80° C., and 576 mg of powdered K2CO3 was added with stirring under a nitrogen atmosphere in each case after 10 minutes, after a further 25 minutes, and after a further 60 minutes (total addition of 1.73 g (12.5 mmol) of K2CO3), and the mixture was stirred for a further 3.5 hours at 80° C. The DMF was then substantially removed by distillation in vacuo in a rotary evaporator,170 ml of water and 17 ml of 4N HCl were added to the residue, and the resultant mixture was extracted three times with CH2Cl2. The CH2Cl2 extract was discarded. The acidic aqueous solution was treated with activated charcoal, shaken thoroughly, and filtered under suction. The filtrate was neutralized using 2N NaOH. The crystalline precipitate precipitating during this was filtered off under suction, washed with water, boiled for 5 minutes with methanol, and, after cooling to 10°-15° C., filtered off under suction and dried. 6.25 g (=69% yield) of pure 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-(2-phenyl-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-4-on-6-ylmethyl)piperazine hydrate, melting point 246°-48° C., were obtained, analysis: C21H24N4O3 (MW 380.45) calc. C 66.30, H 6.36, N 14.73; found C 65.9, H 6.1, N 14.5%.
