Reaction Steps

5-(Benzyloxy)-2-(2,6-dichlorobenzyl)-6-oxo-3,6-dihydro-pyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (61) (0.24 g, 520 μmol, Eq: 1.00) and LiOH (62.3 mg, 2.6 mmol, Eq: 5) were stirred in tetrahydrofuran (2 ml)/water (1.00 ml) at reflux overnight. The solvent was mostly removed. The residue was taken up in water and was extracted once with ethyl acetate. The aqueous layer was acidified with HCl conc. The precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with water and dried to afford 5-benzyloxy-2-(2,6-dichlorobenzyl)-6-oxo-3,6-dihydro-pyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid (62) (0.202 g, 498 μmol, 95.8% yield) as a white solid.
