Procedure

A mixture of ethyl 3-(2,6-dimethyl-3H-pyrimidin-4-on-5-yl)propionate (3.87 g, 0.017 mol), phosphorus oxychloride (40 mL), and N,N-dimethylaniline (10 drops) was heated under reflux for 2 h. The mixture was concentrated, cooled, and ice water was added. Solid KOH was added to bring the pH to 6 and the mixture was extracted with ether. The extracts were dried (MgSO4) and concentrated to give 2.95 g (72%) of product as a brown oil.
