Carbon Tetrachloride → tert-Butyl 4-chloro-8-methyl-5,8-dihydropyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidine-7(6H)-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A combination of 8-methyl-4-oxo-4,5,6,8-tetrahydro-3H-pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidine-7-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (374 mg, 1.41 mmol), triphenylphosphine (739 mg, 2.82 mmol) and carbon tetrachloride (409 uL, 4.23 mmol) and 1,2-DCE (10 mL) are heated at 70° C. for 6 h. The solution is then concentrated in vacuo and the residue separated via FCC (5-60% EtOAc/heptane). MS (ESI) m/z 284.2 (M+H).
