Sodium Hydroxide → Sodium (4-morpholin-4-yl-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidin-2-yl)acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

18.7 ml of 2M sodium hydroxide are added to a solution of 10 g of ethyl [4-(morpholin-4-yl)-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidin-2-yl]acetate in 300 ml of tetrahydrofuran. The reaction mixture is stirred for 48 hours at ambient temperature. The precipitate formed is filtered off through sintered glass, washed with ethyl acetate and rinsed several times with ethyl ether. The solid obtained is then dried in a rotary evaporator so as to give 8.7 g of sodium [4-(morpholin-4-yl)-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidin-2-yl]acetate in the form of a white solid, the characteristics of which are the following:
