Triphenylphosphine → 7-Hydroxy-1-methyl-2,3-dihydroimidazo[1,2-C]pyrimidin-5(1H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 6-((2-hydroxyethyl)(methyl)amino)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (0.463 g, 2.5 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (310 ml) at rt was added Ph3P (1.967 g, 7.50 mmol), then DIAD (1.458 ml, 7.50 mmol) was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 3 h, and concentrated. The residue was partitioned between ethyl ether and water. The aqueous phase was separated, washed with ethyl ether again, and then concentrated to afford the title compound as a light-yellow solid (0.414 g, 99% yield).
