Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 3-{4,6-dichloro-2-[(E)-2-phenylethenyl]-5-pyrimidinyl}propanoate (0.42 g, 1.19 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (5 mL) was added conc. NH4OH (3.5 mL). The reaction was heated at 75° C. in a sealed tube for 16 h. The solution was concentrated under vacuum, diluted with water, and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated under vacuum. The crude residue was then purified by column chromatography (silica gel) to yield the desired compound as a yellow solid (0.072 g, 21%).
