Reaction Steps

3-methyluracil-5-carboxylic acid was treated with HCl and CH2 using standard chloromethylation conditions to give 3-methyl-5-chloromethyl uracil in 52% yield (following standard work-up and recrystallization from ethyl acetate). NMR (DMSO-6): chemical shifts, peak integrations & D2O exchange experiments diagnostic for structure.
