Methylamine → 1-(2-fluoro-4-iodophenyl)-3-methyl-6-methylamino-1H-pyrimidine-2,4-dione

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 6:5 mixture (75.7 g) of 6-chloro-1-(2-fluoro-4-iodophenyl)-3-methyl-1H-pyrimidine-2,4-dione 65 and 6-chloro-3-(2-fluoro-4-iodophenyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrimidine-2,4-dione 66 obtained in Step 3 were added methanol (227 ml) and 40% solution (152 ml) of methylamine in methanol, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2.5 hrs. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and toluene (150 ml) and water (150 ml) were added to the residue, and the mixture was stirred under heating at reflux for 30 min. After allowing to return to room temperature, the crystals were collected by filtration and dried to give a 6:5 mixture (59.6 g, yield 79.9%) of 1-(2-fluoro-4-iodophenyl)-3-methyl-6-methylamino-1H-pyrimidine-2,4-dione 67 and 3-(2-fluoro-4-iodophenyl)-1-methyl-6-methylamino-1H-pyrimidine-2,4-dione 68 as pale-yellow crystals.
