5-(4-Methoxybenzyl)-2-methylthio-4-pyrimidone → 2-[4-(5-Bromo-3-methylpyrid-2-yl)butylamino]-5-(4-methoxybenzyl)-4-pyrimidone

Participants

Reaction Steps

5-Bromo-2-(4-aminobutyl)-3-methylpyridine, (0.875 g) and 5-(4-methoxybenzyl)-2-methylthio-4-pyrimidone (0.786 g) were refluxed in pyridine (3 ml) for 20 hours. The pyridine was evaporated in vacuo. Residual pyridine was removed from the residue by azeotroping with water in vacuo and dried by azeotroping with ethanol. Addition of water (10 ml) and ethanol (1 ml) gave a colourless solid. This was recrystallised from ethanol and then from methanol to give 2-[4-(5-bromo-3-methylpyrid-2-yl)butylamino]-5-(4-methoxybenzyl)-4-pyrimidone (0.97 g) m.p. 149°-50° C.
