Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 4-methyl-2-phenyl-6-(4-pyridyl)-1,6-dihydro-5-pyrimidinecarboxylate (13.4 g) in chloroform (300 ml) was added activated manganese dioxide (53.6 g) and the mixture was refluxed for two hours with stirring vigorously. After allowing to cool to room temperature, manganese dioxide was filtered off. The filtrate was evaporated in vacuo and the residual precipitate was recrystallized from a mixture of ether (80 ml) and petroleum ether (40 ml). The crystal was filtered off, washed with ether and dried in vacuo to give ethyl 6-methyl-2-phenyl-4-(4-pyridyl)-5-pyrimidinecarboxylate (7.5 g).
