Sodium Hydroxide → HCID 66590905, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

10 mg (242.5 μmol, 2.5 eq) of sodium hydroxide pellets are added to a solution of 37.6 mg (97 μmol, 1 eq) of 3-{5-[3-(1-methyl-3-pentylureido)phenyl]pyrimidine-2-acrylate in 2 ml of tetrahydrofuran and 4 drops of water. The reaction mixture is stirred for 8 hours at room temperature. The reaction medium is concentrated and then diluted with 10 ml of water and washed with twice 10 ml of dichloromethane. The aqueous phase is acidified with 1N hydrochloric acid and then extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phases are combined and dried over sodium sulfate. The solvents are evaporated off and the residue is then chromatographed on a preparative silica plate (95/5/0.5% dichloromethane/methanol/aqueous ammonia). 7.9 mg of 3-{5-[3-(1-methyl-3-pentylureido)phenyl]pyrimidin-2-yl}acrylic acid are obtained in the form of beige-colored crystals. Yield=22%.
