Potassium Carbonate → HCID 19833535, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2.2 g (0.01 mol) of 4,6-dimethoxy-2-methylsulfonylpyrimidine and 1.6 g (0.01 mol) of methyl 3-hydroxythiophene-2-carboxylate are dissolved in 50 ml of ethyl methyl ketone, and 13.8 g (0.1 mol) of potassium carbonate are added. The mixture is refluxed for 4 hours, cooled down, diluted with water and extracted with methylene chloride. The extract is dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is stirred up with n-hephtane, filtered off and dried under reduced pressure, leaving 1.8 g of methyl 3-(4,5-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yloxy)thiophene-2-carboxylate of m.p. 107°-109° C.
