Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1.8 g. of 3-ethoxycarbonyl-6-methyl-9-[(chloro-N,N-dimethylammonio)-methylene]-4-oxo-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine chloride and 5 mmoles of sodium acetate in 5 ml. of anhydrous ethanol is allowed to stand for 24 hours at room temperature and the precipitated sodium chloride is filtered and the filtrate is evaporated. The residue is dissolved in water and the pH of the solution is adjusted to 7 by adding sodium hydrogen carbonate. The precipitated crystals are filtered, washed with water and dried. 0.92 g. (60%) of 3,9-diethoxycarbonyl-6-methyl-4-oxo-1,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine is obtained, melting point: 138°-140° C.
