Reaction Steps

At room temperature, 1.6 g (4 mmol) of the (-)-5-octyloxy-2-{4-(6-hydroxy-1-trans-heptenyl)-phenyl}-pyrimidine obtained in Example 9, 20 ml of ethyl iodide and 2.8 g (12 mmol) of silver oxide were stirred for 60 hours, washed successively with 1 N hydrochloric acid and saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The reaction mixture thus obtained was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain 0.76 g (yield 43%) of (-)-5-octyloxy-2-{4-(6-ethoxy-1-trans-heptenyl)-phenyl}-pyrimidine, [α]D20 =-1.2 (c=0.95, CHCl3).
