Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of N-(2-butoxyphenyl)guanidine (11.6 g) and diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate (12.1 g) in DMF (70 ml) is heated at 100° C. for 9 hours. After cooling, water (50 ml) is added to the reaction mixture, and the precipitate is collected by filtration, washed with ethanol and recrystallized from a mixture of DMF and water to give ethyl 2-(2-butoxyanilino)-1,6-dihydro-6-oxo-5-pyrimidinecarboxylate (16.1 g). M.p. 211°-213° C.
