Methanol → 2-(3-Methoxyphenyl)-5-(4-octyloxyphenyl)pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.50 g (5.76 mmol) of triphenylphosphine and 0.90 ml (5.76 mmol) of diethyl azodicarboxylste in 40 ml of tetrahydrofuran are stirred at 0° C. for 30 minutes. 1.50 g (3.84 mmol) of 2-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-5-(4-octyloxyphenyl)pyrimidine and 0.23 ml (5.76 mmol) of methanol are subsequently added, and the resultant solution is stirred at room temperature overnight. Evaporation to dryness, chromatographic purification (silica gel/dichloromethane:ethyl acetate=95:5) and recrystallization from acetonitrile give 1.20 g of 2-(3-methoxyphenyl)-5-(4-octyloxyphenyl)pyrimidine. ##STR16##
