Methanol → HCID 18759300, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 57 mg of 5-fluoro-2-(3-methoxyphenoxy)-4-[3-methyl-2,6-dioxo-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-1-yl]cyanobenzene in 0.6 ml of chloroform, 48 μl of boron tribromide was added dropwise at 0° C. After the addition, the temperature of the reaction mixture was raised to room temperature and stirred for 1 hour. The mixture was cooled to 0° C. and 1 ml of methanol was added thereto. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, the resultant was diluted with ethyl acetate, and then, saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution was added thereto to be pH 4. The resultant was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated saline, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to obtain 36 mg of 3-{2-cyano-4-fluoro-5-[3-methyl-2,6-dioxo-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-1-yl]phenoxy}phenol.
