Hydrochloric Acid → 2-(4-(3-Ethoxy-4-hydroxy-5-nitrophenyl)-2-oxo-6-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidin-5-yl)benzonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-(2-oxo-2-phenylethyl)benzonitrile (Intermediate 33) (100 mg, 0.45 mmol), 3-ethoxy-4-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzaldehyde (87 mg, 0.41 mmol), urea (81 mg, 1.36 mmol), and concentrated HCl solution (0.03 mL, 0.41 mmol) in EtOH (5 mL) was refluxed overnight. The mixture was concentrated, and purified by preparative HPLC to give Compound 70 (54.26 mg, yield 29%) as a yellow solid. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6 300 MHz): δ 10.24 (s, 1H), 8.91 (s, 1H), 7.61 (s, 1H), 7.51-7.44 (m, 2H), 7.31 (s, 1H), 7.24-7.16 (m, 4H), 7.13-7.08 (m, 3H), 5.37 (s, 1H), 3.99-3.93 (m, 2H), 1.31 (t, J=6.8 Hz, 3H); MS (ESI): m/z 456.8 [M+1]+.
