Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 1,6-dihydro-2-methylthio-6-oxo-5-pyrimidinecarboxylate (4.2 g) and 2-propoxyaniline (3.5 g) is heated with stirring without a solvent at 120° C. for 1 hour. After cooling, methanol is added to the reaction mixture in order to pulverize the solid, and then the product is collected by filtration and recrystallized from a mixture of DMF and water to give ethyl 1,6-dihydro-2-(2-propoxyanilino)-6-oxo-5-pyrimidinecarboxylate (4.5 g). M.p. 198°-200° C.
