Procedure
To a solution of 5-ethyl-2-(2-hydroxy-phenyl)-6-methyl-3-phenethyl-3H-pyrimidin-4-one (0.19 g, 0.50 mmol) was dissolved in THF (10 mL) that contained potassium carbonate (0.80 g) and iodomethane (3 mL). The mixture was refluxed for 40 h under an argon atmosphere. After cooling to room temperature, hexanes (100 mL) were added and the salts were filtered off. The filtrate was evaporated in vacuum, and the residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (40 g) eluting with ethyl acetate-hexanes (2:3) to give 5-ethyl-2-(2-methoxy-phenyl)-6-methyl-3-phenethyl-3H-pyrimidin-4-one (110 mg, 56%) as a white solid after final crystallization from hexanes.
