Reaction Steps

Ethyl bromide (600 ml, 8.03 mmol) was added to a stirred mixture of 5-(4-fluorophenyl) -2-methylthio-6-(4-pyridyl)-4(3H)-pyrimidinone (1.8 g, 5.97 mmol) and sodium hydride (60% oily suspension, 320 mg, 8 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (60 ml) at room temperature. More ethyl bromide (2×600 ml, 2×8.03 mmol) was added after 2 and 3.5 h. After 8 h, the reaction mixture was neutralized with acetic acid and evaporated. The remainder was taken up in dichloromethane, the organic solution was washed with water, dried and evaporated. Flash chromatography on a column of silica gel (hexane-acetone=3:1, 2:1). provided in the second main fraction the title compound as a solid.
