Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

In a reactor were placed 16.0 g (0.4 moles) of 60% sodium hydride, 400 ml of THF and 43.6 g (0.2 moles) of 4,6-dimethoxy-2-methanesulfonylpyrimidine. The reactor contents were heated to 30° C. Thereto was dropwise added 39.4 g (0.68 moles) of acetone, followed by a reaction for 2 hours. After the completion of the reaction, 350 ml of water was added and extraction with 500 ml of ethyl acetate was conducted. The ethyl acetate layer was concentrated. The concentrate was subjected to distillation under reduced pressure to obtain 8.8 g (44.9 m moles) of 1-(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine-2-yl)-2-propanone. Refractive index n20D: 1.5181
