Reaction Steps

2-Nitro-5-(5-chloro-2-pyrimidyloxy)phenol (0.65 g), ethyl iodide (2 ml), potassium carbonate (0.35 g) and methyl ethyl ketone (20 ml) were heated together under reflux with stirring for 15 hours. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was partitioned between water and chloroform. The chloroform extracts were dried and evaporated under reduced pressure to give a pale yellow solid which was recrystallized from ethanol to give the title compound as pale yellow needles (0.54 g), m.p. 114°-115° C.
