Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl 2-amino-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-6-isopropyl-1,6-dihydropyrimidine-5-carboxylate (22.6 g) was dissolved in toluene (150 ml) and heated until a solution was obtained. Manganese dioxide (18.8 g) was added as a slurry in toluene (150 ml) and the mixture refluxed under azeotropic conditions for 6 hours until conversion was complete. A small amount of water was collected in the Dean and Stark trap. The slurry was filtered and the solvents removed by evaporation under reduced pressure to give ethyl 2-amino-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-6-isopropyl-pyrimidine-5-carboxylate as a crystalline solid in 96% yield.
