Hydrochloric Acid → 4-(3-ethoxy-4-hydroxy-5-nitrophenyl)-6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-phenyl-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-phenylethanone (200 mg, 0.88 mmol), 3-ethoxy-4-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzaldehyde (187 mg, 0.89 mmol), and urea (159 mg, 2.65 mmol) in anhydrous EtOH (20 mL) was added concentrated HCl solution (0.1 mL). The reaction mixture was refluxed for two days. When TLC (EtOAc:MeOH=10:1) showed that about 30% of the starting materials were consumed, the reaction mixture was concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography (EtOAc:MeOH=40:1) and preparative HPLC to afford Compound 20 as a yellow solid (30 mg, yield: 7.5%). 1H NMR (DMSO-d6 300 MHz): δ 10.30 (s, 1H), 8.65 (s, 1H), 7.52 (s, 1H), 7.45 (s, 1H), 7.20 (s, 1H), 7.09-7.15 (m, 2H), 6.96-7.08 (m, 3H), 6.75-6.82 (m, 4H), 5.12 (s, 1H), 4.00-4.10 (m, 2H), 3.70 (s, 3H), 1.34 (t, J=6.9 Hz, 3H); MS (ESI): m/z 462.0 [M+1]+.
