Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution containing 20 g of 6-chloro-3-(2-ethylhexyl)uracil thus obtained in 50 ml of dimethylformamide was added 11 g of potassium carbonate and then 12.1 g of methyl iodide was added thereto, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hours. The reaction solution was filtered, the filtrate was poured into water and extracted twice with 100 ml of chloroform. The organic phase was washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution and dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The chloroform was distilled off under reduced pressure to obtain 21 g of 6-chloro-3-(2-ethylhexyl)-1-methyluracil as an oily product.
