To a solution of 4-(ethylamino)-6-methyl-2-(methylthio)pyrimidine-5-carbaldehyde (38 g, 180 mmol) in THF (500 mL) was added (Carbethoxymethylene) triphenylphosphorane (95%, Aldrich, 85.18 g, 244 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 1.5 h and was monitored by TLC (4:1 hexanes/ethylacetate). The reaction was cooled to room temperature and was concentrated on a rotary evaporator. It was directly subjected to column chromatography (4:1 hexanes/ethylacetate) to give (E)-ethyl-3-(4-(ethylamino)-6-methyl-2-(methylthio)pyrimidin-5-yl)acrylate as a white crystal, 46.14 g (91% yield).
