Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of N-ethyl-5-((4-fluoro-3-nitrophenylamino)methyl)-2-(methylthio)pyrimidin-4-amine (2.20 g, 6.5 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (25 mL) was added Et3N (2.7 mL, 20 mmol) followed by phosgene (20% solution in toluene, 4.3 mL, 7.8 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h at RT and then diluted with water. The organic layer was separated and washed with brine, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated to provide an orange yellow solid, which on stirring in ethyl acetate followed by filtration provided 1-ethyl-3-(4-fluoro-3-nitrophenyl)-7-(methylthio)-3,4-dihydropyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidin-2(1H)-one as a light yellow solid.
