Reaction Steps

Acetic acid 2-(1-methyl-2-phenethylcarbamoyl-propenylcarbamoyl)-phenyl ester of Example 1f (220 mg, 0.59 mmol) was dissolved in the mixture of ethanol (8 mL) and water (8 mL) which contained 85% potassium hydroxide (0.80 g, 1.2 mmol). The mixture was refluxed overnight. After cooling, the reaction mixture was acidified with hydrochloric acid to pH=1 and extracted with dichloromethane (3×30 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water (50 mL), brine (50 mL) and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After concentration, the product was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (39 g) eluting with hexanes-ethyl acetate (1:1) to give 2-(2-hydroxy-phenyl)-5,6-dimethyl-3-phenethyl-3H-pyrimidin-4-one (70 mg, 37%) as a white solid.
