Procedure

A solution of 1,4-dihydro-2-methoxy-6-methyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-5-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid, ethyl ester (3.19 g, 10.0 mmoles) in dichloromethane (25 ml) and pyridine (5.0 ml) under argon was cooled to 0° C. and was treated dropwise with ethyl chloroformate (1.2 ml of 0.7%, 12.0 mmoles). After the addition was completed, the reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 1 hour. It was then diluted with ethyl acetate and the resulting solution was washed with water, sodium bicarbonate and brine. After drying over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, the solvent was evaporated to provide 2-methoxy-4-methyl-6-(3-nitrophenyl)-1,5(6H)-pyrimidinedicarboxylic acid, diethyl ester as a light yellow foam (3.71 g). This material was used in the next reaction without purification.
