Procedure

6-Cyclopropyl-2-(2-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-3H-pyrimidin-4-one (12.0 g, 42.8 mmol) in phosphorous oxychloride (40 mL, 428 mmol) was heated at 75-80° C. for 1 hour. The solvent was removed by evaporation and azeotroping three times with toluene. The residue was cooled to 0° C., taken up in ethyl acetate, treated with ice chips and water. The mixture was then washed sequentially with sodium bicarbonate, water and brine, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. Purification by flash chromatography [SiO2, 5:95 ethyl acetate:hexanes (5:95)] provided the title compound (9.71 g, 76% yield) as a colorless oil. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 500 MHz) δ 1.12 (m, 2H), 1.30 (m, 2H). 2.02 (m, 1H), 7.24 (s, 1H), 7.56 (t, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 7.64 (t, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 7.79 (m, 2H) ppm; MS (FIA) 299.1/300.9 (M+H); Rt (Method A) 3.882 minutes.
