Procedure

To a solution of 0.250 g (1.25 mmol) of ethyl (4-chloro-5-pyrimidinyl)acetate (see i-48, Step A) in 10 mL of absolute methanol was dissolved 0.060 g (2.50 mmol) of sodium metal. The resulting solution was heated under microwave conditions at 120° C. for 10 min. All volatiles were removed in vacuo and the residue was diluted with saturated sodium bicarbonate and extracted with dichloromethane (3×10 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to dryness in vacuo to afford the title compound as a clear gum (0.21 g, 93%). 1H-NMR (500 MHz, CD3OD) δ: 8.72 (s, 1H), 8.35 (s, 1H), 3.96 (s, 2H), 4.01 (s, 3H), 3.70 (s, 3H), 3.57 (s, 2H). LC-MS: m/z (E/S) 183 (MH)+.
