Methyl iodide → 1-(4-Benzylpiperazin-1-yl)-3-methyltetrahydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

Lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (1M THF solution; 1.5 mL) was added to a solution of 1-(4-benzylpiperazin-1-yl)tetrahydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one (0.27 g) obtained in Example 25a} in THF (10 mL) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for one hour. Methyl iodide (0.09 mL) was added thereto, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was diluted with an aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, and extracted with dichloromethane. The extract was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to obtain the title compound (0.30 g, quantitative) as a brown oil.
