Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 4′-[(2,4-dioxo-6-propyl-3,4-dihydrothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-1(2H)-yl)methyl]-3′-fluorobiphenyl-2-carbonitrile (1 g), 2-bromo-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethanone (0.67 g) and N,N-dimethylformamide (15 mL) was added sodium hydride (0.14 g), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hr. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed successively with 5% aqueous potassium hydrogensulfate solution and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (5 mL), and added to a mixture of hydroxylammonium chloride (1.41 g), sodium hydrogencarbonate (2.13 g) and dimethyl sulfoxide (20 mL), which had been stirred at 40° C. for 30 min in advance. The reaction mixture was stirred at 90° C. for 16 hr, diluted with chloroform, washed successively with water and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in methylene chloride (40 mL), N,N′-carbonyldiimidazole (0.33 g) and then 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (0.28 mL) were added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hr. The reaction mixture was diluted with chloroform, washed successively with saturated aqueous potassium hydrogensulfate solution and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. To the obtained residue were added 20% sulfuric acid (10 mL) and ethanol (20 ml), and the mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 1 hr, and extracted with chloroform and water. The chloroform layer was washed with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give the title compound as colorless crystals (0.57 g, 53%).
