Participants

Reaction Steps

To 5 ml of 1.0 N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (5.0 mmoles) diluted with 50 ml of methanol is added one equivalent of 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,6-dihydro-4-methyl-6-oxopyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid prepared as in Example 2. After stirring for a short time the resulting slurry (pH 7-8) is evaporated in vacuo. The solid residue is slurried in ether and isolated by vacuum filtration. Drying gives a quantitative yield of sodium 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,6-dihydro-4-methyl-6-oxopyrimidine-5-carboxylate, m.p. >250° C.
