Water → 5-(3,3-diethoxyprop-1-ynyl)-3,6-dimethyl-1-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-pyrimidin-2,4(1H,3H)-dione

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-iodo-3,6-dimethyl-1-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)pyrimidin-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (prepared in Reference Example 60) (20.0 mg), propargylaldehyde diethyl acetal (62.5 mg), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (5.6 mg), copper iodide (1.0 mg) and triethylamine (68 μL) in tetrahydrofuran (1.0 ml) was stirred at room temperature under nitrogen atmosphere for twelve hours. To the reaction mixture was added water (10 ml) and the resulting mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (10 ml×2). The organic layer was washed with saturated saline (20 ml), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified silica gel column chromatography (eluent: hexane/ethyl acetate) to afford 5-(3,3-diethoxyprop-1-ynyl)-3,6-dimethyl-1-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-pyrimidin-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (216.0 mg).
