Procedure

The starting compound is prepared as follows. A solution of 2-amino-4-methylpyrimidine (21.8 g) and p-nitrobenzaldehyde (30.2 g) in formic acid (45 ml) is refluxed (24 hours). After cooling, the reaction mixture is poured into water (1 liter), and the aqueous mixture is neutralized with a 5N sodium hydroxide solution. The crude product is extracted with chloroform, and the extract is dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to dryness. The crude product is purified on a silica gel column to give 4-[2-(p-nitrophenyl)ethenyl]-2-aminopyrimidine (27.8 g), m.p. 214°-216° C., which is used for the next step without purification.
