Reaction Steps

To a suspension of sodium borohydride (326 mg) in t-butanol/ethanol [2:1 (volume ratio), 18.0 ml] was added N′-[3-(2-fluoro-4-iodophenyl)-1-(4-methoxybenzyl)-2,6-dioxo-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-4-yl]-N,N-dimethylformamidine 83 (3.00 g) with stirring at, room temperature. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr, and at 65° C. for 2 hrs. With stirring at the same temperature, water (30.0 ml) and ammonium chloride (461 mg) were successively added, and the mixture was stirred to allow to cool to room temperature. The reaction solution was extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The organic layers were combined, washed successively with saturated aqueous hydrogen carbonate solution and brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained crude product was purified by column chromatography to give 1-(2-fluoro-4-iodophenyl)-3-(4-methoxybenzyl)-6-methylamino-1H-pyrimidine-2,4-dione 84 (2.57 g, yield 93.1%) as a pale-yellow solid.
