Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-[4-(2-hydroxy-ethoxy)-3,5-dimethyl-phenyl]-5,7-dimethoxy-3H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one (0.50 g, 1.34 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (6 mL) was added carbon tetrabromide (0.53 g, 1.61 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (0.42 g, 1.61 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 16 hours. DMF was removed under vacuum and dichloromethane (200 mL) was added. The organic phase was washed with water (100 mL), then brine (100 mL), and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Solvent was removed and the residue was washed with ether (100 mL) to give 2-[4-(2-bromo-ethoxy)-3,5-dimethyl-phenyl]-5,7-dimethoxy-3H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one as a white solid. Yield: 0.23 g (40%).
