Hydrochloric Acid → 4-(3-bromo-5-ethoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)-5,6-diphenyl-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1,2-diphenylethanone (4.80 g, 25 mmol), 3-bromo-5-ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (5.00 g, 20 mmol) and urea (3.68 g, 61 mmol) in EtOH (250 mL) was added conc. HCl (10 mL). The mixture was heated at reflux for 112 h. Followed standard aqueous workup procedure and purified by silica gel column chromatography (PE:EA=1:3) to afford Compound 100 as a white solid (1.06 g, 11%). 1H NMR (MeOH-d4 500 MHz TMS): δ 7.24 (s, 5H), 7.09 (s, 1H), 7.04 (s, 3H), 6.85 (s, 3H), 5.17 (s, 1H), 4.03 (m, 2H), 1.37 (t, J=7.5 Hz, 3H); MS (ESI): m/z 465.0 [M+1]+.
