Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 2-hydroxybut-3-enoate (0.80g, 6.9mmol), 4,6-dimethoxy-2-methanesulphonylpyrimidine (1.50g, 6.9mmol) and potassium carbonate (1.04g, 7.6mmol) in methyl ethyl ketone (100ml) was refluxed for 12 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate evaporated in vacuo. Flash column chromatography (silica, 1.5% methanol in chloroform) of the residue gave the title compound (1.37g, 78% yield by weight).
