Reaction Steps

A mixture of (±)-3-[7-chloro-3-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-4-methyl-2-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidin-1-yl]-benzonitrile (0.49 g; 1.21 mmol) (from Example 5a supra) and aniline (0.50 mL; 5.49 mmol) (Aldrich) was heated to 110° C. for one hour. Methanol was added to the hot mixture and the solution was then cooled. The solid that precipitated out of solution was collected and recrystallized from methanol to yield (±)-3-[3-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-4-methyl-2-oxo-7-phenylamino-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidin-1-yl]-benzonitrile as a white solid. (Yield 0.35 g; 62.2%). Melting Point: 224–228° C.
