Participants

Reaction Steps

6-Amino-2-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-3-methoxyphenyl)-5-vinylpyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester (200 mg, 0.59 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (15 mL) and 2N sodium hydroxide (1 mL, 2 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 2 h, acidified with a slight excess of 2N HCl, and concentrated. The crystals that formed were filtered off, washed with water, washed with diethyl ether, and dried under vacuum to yield the title compound (136 mg, 71% yield): mp 167-168° C.: 1H NMR (DMSO-d6 and drop of D2O) δ 7.62 (m, 1H), 7.43 (m, 1H), 6.65 (dd, 1H), 5.67 (m, 2H), 3.92 (d, 3H).
