Reaction Steps

The starting material can be obtained according to the procedure of A. R. Todd and F. Bergel, J. Chem. Soc. 1937, 366 from p-n-pentylbenzamide hydrochloride and ethoxymethylenemalonic acid diethyl ester with sodium ethylate in ethanol and subsequent treatment of the obtained 2-(p-n-pentylphenyl)-4-hydroxy-5-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid ethyl ester (melting point 193.9°-194.4° C) with phosphorus oxychloride. The melting point of 2-(p-n-pentylphenyl)-4-chloro-5-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid ethyl ester is 58.5°-59.2° C.
