Phosgene → HCID 13259312, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2.3 g of 2-(m-fluoroanilino)-3-methylaminomethylpyridine was added 0.96 g of approximately 50% sodium hydride and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. To this was added 10 g of approximately 30% carbon tetrachloride-phosgene solution, dropwise under ice-cooling, and the resulting mixture was stirred for 1 hour. After an excess of the phosgene was decomposed with 10% acetone-ammonia solution, the solvent was removed from the reaction mixture by distillation under reduced pressure. The residue thus obtained was diluted with water, extracted with ether and dehydrated. The ether solution was applied on a column of alumina and then eluted with ether. The eluate was concentrated and left to give 1.3 g of 1-(m-fluorophenyl)-3-methyl-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine as colorless prisms, melting at 189° - 192° C.
