Reaction Steps

To 100 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide, 17.1 g (100 mmol) of 2-phenylacetoamidine hydrochloric acid salt, synthesized in accordance with a method described in “Tetrahedron”, page 887 (1984), 18.6 g (100 mmol) of ethyl 2-acetyl-3-ethoxyacrylate and 9.0 g (110 mmol) of sodium acetate were suspended, followed by stirring at 100° C. for 3 hours. The reaction liquid was cooled and then poured into ice water, and extracting with diethyl ether. The organic layer was washed with water and a saturated saline solution in this order, followed by drying over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrating under reduced pressure to obtain 22.8 g (yield: 89%) of ethyl 2-benzyl-4-methylpyrimidine-5-carboxylate.
