Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide → 2-[4-(5-[propyloxy]-1-pentyl)phenyl]-5-{[(Z)-3-octenoyl]oxy}pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.8 g of N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide was added within 5 minutes while stirring to a solution of 1.0 g of 2-[4-(5[propyloxy]-1-pentyl)phenyl]-5-hydroxypyrimidine, 0.4 g of (Z)-3-octenoic acid and 0.05 g of 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine in 30 ml of dichloromethane. The reaction mixture was stirred overnight, then filtered and the filtrate was washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and with water and concentrated. Chromatography of the residue on silica gel with hexane/ethyl acetate (vol. 4:1) and two-fold recrystallization of the thin-layer chromatographically pure fractions gave 1.0 g of 2-[4-(5-[propyloxy]-1-pentyl)phenyl]-5-{[(Z)-3-octenoyl]oxy}pyrimidine.
