Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 17972199, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.0 g (2.1 mmol) of methyl 2-[2-chloro-5-(3-methyl-2,6-dioxo-4-trifluoromethyl-3,6-dihydro-2H-pyrimidin-1-yl)-4-fluoro-benzoyloxy]-2-methylpropionate from example 4.1 was dissolved in 50 ml of acetic acid, 50 ml of conc. hydrochloric acid were added and the reaction mixture was heated under reflux for 5 hours. Most of the acetic acid was distilled off, and the solution that remained was poured into ice-water. The precipitate was filtered off and dried, which gave 0.65 g of 2-[2-chloro-5-(3-methyl-2,6-dioxo-4-trifluoromethyl-3,6-dihydro-2H-pyrimidin-1-yl)-4-fluorobenzoyloxy]-2-methylpropionic acid.
