3-(2,6-Bis-benzyloxy-5-isopropyl-pyrimidin-4-yloxy)-5-methyl-benzonitrile → 3-(5-Isopropyl-2,6-dioxo-1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-pyrimidin-4-yloxy)-5-methyl-benzonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-(2,6-Bis-benzyloxy-5-isopropyl-pyrimidin-4-yloxy)-5-methyl-benzonitrile (372 mg, 65% pure, 0.52 mmol) was dissolved in 20 mL of EtOAc and 5 mL of EtOH. 10% Pd/C (75 mg) was added and a hydrogen balloon was applied. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The Pd/C was filtered through celite, and the filtrate was concentrated and purified using silica gel (EtOAc/hexane) to give a white solid (100 mg, 29%). LC-MS shows 286.0 (M+1).
