Reaction Steps

0.16 g of NaH (5 mmol), as an 80% strength dispersion in oil, is added to a solution of 1.42 g (5 mmol) of 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-5-n-octylpyrimidine in 50 ml of dimethylformamide at a temperature of 0° C. When the evolution of gas has subsided, 1.35 g (7 mmol) of (2S, 3S)-1-mesyloxy-2,3-epoxyhexane are added, and the mixture is stirred for 6 hours at 0° C. The mixture is subsequently hydrolized in 100 ml of ice water and extracted with dichloromethane. After three-fold column chromatography (silica gel, dichloromethane), 0.61 g (32% of theory) of colorless crystals are obtained. The IR spectrum (in KBr) and the 1H NMR spectrum (in CDCl3) support the structural formula indicated, and the optical rotation is (α) D25 : -18.8° (c=10, CH2Cl2).
