Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1.2 g of 2-(2-(4,4-dimethyl-oxazolin-2-yl)-α-bromobenzyl)-4,6-dimethoxy-pyrimidine and 2 g of Na2CO3 in 30 ml of DMSO is heated with stirring at 50°-60° C. for 3 hrs. The mixture is poured into 150 ml of water and extracted with toluene. The toluene extract is washed twice with water (2×50 ml) separated and concentrated. The thus obtained gum is chromatographed with 800 ml of 80/20 hexane/ethyl acetate, 500 ml 70/30 hexane/ethyl acetate, 60/40 ml hexane/ethyl acetate (50 ml fractions) fractions 29 to 34 yielded the title compound.
