Reaction Steps

To a solution of 9.60 g (59.8 mmol) 2-chloro-5-hydroxy-3-methylpyrimidin-4(3H)-one in 300 ml DMF was added 20.4 ml (149 mmol) PMBCl, and 48.7 g (149 mmol) Cs2CO3. The reaction mixture was heated to 60° C. for 3 h, cooled to rt, quenched with 200 ml water, extracted with 500 ml EtOAc, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by flash chromatography (330 g silica gel, 3-80% EtOAc:hexane) gave 10 g (60% yield) of 2-chloro-5-[(4-methoxybenzyl)oxy]-3-methylpyrimidin-4(3H)-one. LCMS [M+H]+=281.0.
