Acetic Acid → 3-n-Butyl-6-[4-(2-hydroxyethyl)aminophenyl]uracil

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-chloro-3-n-butyluracil (10.4 g, 51.3 mmol), 2-(4-aminophenyl)ethanol (10.0 g, 72.9 mmol) and ethyldiisopropylamine (18 ml, 0.1 mol) was heated with stirring under argon on a 150° oil bath for 1 hr 20 min. The mixture was cooled to room temperature, diluted with 50 ml of water, treated with 10 ml of acetic acid and stirred for crystallization overnight. A precipitated solid was filtered, washed with 2% acetic acid, dried on filter and dissolved in 100 ml of hot 96% ethanol. To the solution 100 ml of hot water was added followed by 1.0 g of charcoal. The mixture was filtered hot and crystallized on ice. Yellow solid was collected by filtration and dried in vacuum to yield 10.7 g of 40, mp 207-208° C. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ0.88 (t, 3H, J=7.3 Hz, CH3), 1.25 (m, 2H, CH2), 1.46 (m, 2H, CH2), 2.70 (t, 2H, J=6.8 Hz, CH2), 3.60 (dd, 2H, J=11.8, 6.8 Hz, CH2), 3.68 (t, 2H, J=7.3 Hz, CH2), 4.62 (t, 1H, J=5.3 Hz, OH), 4.73 (d, 1H, J=1.8 Hz, 5-H), 7.10 (d, 2H, J=8.4 Hz, ArH), 7.23 (d, 2H, J=8.4 Hz, ArH), 7.10 (s, 1H, NH), 10.37 (s, 1H, NH).
