Reaction Steps

Ethyl 4-(4-cyanophenyl)-6-methyl-2-thioxo-1-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-5-pyrimidinecarboxylate (Example 3; 100 mg, 0.22 mmol), N-(2-bromoethyl)-N,N-diethylamine hydrobromide (64.5 mg, 0.25 mmol), N,N,N-tributyl-1-butanaminium iodide (7 mg, 0.03 mmol) and potassium carbonate (65.2 mg, 0.47 mmol) are dissolved in 3 ml acetone and stirred at room temperature overnight. The solvent is removed in vacuo and the product is purified via preparative HPLC (RP18-column; eluent: acetonitrile-water, gradient 10:90 to 90:10).
