Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1.14 g of isopropyl 2-chloro-4-fluoro-5-[5-chloromethyl-3,6-dihydro-3,4-dimethyl-2,6-dioxo-1(2H)-pyrimidinyl]-benzoate in 20 ml 1,2-dimethoxyethane is stirred at room temperature for 3 hours with a solution of 0.47 g of sodium bicarbonate in 10 ml of water. The solvent is evaporated off under reduced pressure and the residue is extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase is dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate and evaporated to dryness. The residue is purifed by chromatography on a silica gel column using methylene chloride/ethyl acetate (2:1) as the eluent. There is obtained isopropyl 2-chloro-4-fluoro-5-[3,6-dihydro-3,4-dimethyl-5-hydroxymethyl-2,6-dioxo-1(2H)-pyrimidinyl]-benzoate, 1H--NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) 7.83 ppm (d, 1H), 7.35 ppm (d, 1H), 5.24 ppm (m, 1H), 4.59 ppm (d, 1H), 4.54 ppm (d, 1H), 3.50 ppm (s, 3H), 2.44 ppm (s, 3H), 2.34 ppm (s, approx. 1H, very broad), 1.36 ppm (d, 6H).
