Reaction Steps

Phosphorus oxychloride (15.2 g, 99.1 mmol) was added to 6-[(4-fluorophenyl)sulfanylmethyl]-1H-pyrimidine-2,4-dione (2.5 g, 9.91 mmol), and the resulting solution was stirred at reflux for 7 hours. The reaction was allowed to cool and the phosphorus oxychloride removed under reduced pressure to give a brown oil. This was dissolved in DCM and ice water (50 mL) added followed by solid sodium bicarbonate (until effervescence stops). The aqueous layer was extracted with DCM (2×50 mL) and the organics dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated to afford crude product. The crude product was purified by flash silica chromatography, elution gradient 0 to 40% ethyl acetate in isohexane, to give the desired material as a yellow gum (2.11 g).
