Acetic Acid → 4-(5-(6-(Hydroxymethyl)-3-methyl-2,4-dioxo-1-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidin-5-yl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)benzonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-[5-[3,6-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-1-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidin-5-yl]-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]benzonitrile (prepared in Example 1) (50.0 mg) in dioxane (1.0 ml) were added acetic acid (0.5 ml) and selenium dioxide (74.0 mg) and the resulting mixture was stirred with heating under reflux for six hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: hexane/ethyl acetate) to afford 4-[5-(6-hydroxymethyl)-3-methyl-2,4-dioxo-1-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidin-5-yl]-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]benzonitrile (3.7 mg).
