Reaction Steps

The mixture of 2-acetyl-6-nitro-benzoic acid methyl ester (8.20 g, 36.7 mmol, Step C) and 5,5-dibromobarbituric acid (7.35 g, 25.7 mmol) in 200 mL of THF was heated to reflux under N2 for 64 h. The solvents were removed, and the residue was partitioned between EtOAc and Na2CO3(aq). The organic portion was dried over MgSO4, filtered, condensed, and the titled compound was obtained as a white solid after flash column chromatography (5 to 20% of EtOAc in hexanes).
