Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

(4,5-Dimethylfuran-2-yl)-(2-pyrimidyl)-methanone (220 mg), methanol (2 ml), and a 28% aqueous ammonia solution (2 ml) were placed in a sealed tube, and the mixture was stirred at 160° C. overnight. The reaction solution was cooled to room temperature, the solvent was removed by distillation under the reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by column chromatography using hexane-acetone to give 5,6-dimethyl-2-pyrimidin-2-yl-pyridin-3-ol (129 mg, yield 59%).
