A new synthetic route of 4212-49-1

At the same time, in my other blogs, there are other synthetic methods of this type of compound,4212-49-1, 5-Ethyluracil, and friends who are interested can also refer to it.

Electric Literature of 4212-49-1, Researchers who often do experiments know that organic synthesis is a process of preparing more complex target molecules from simple raw materials through one or more chemical reactions. Generally, it requires fewer steps,and cheap raw materials. 4212-49-1, name is 5-Ethyluracil. A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below.

N, N-DIISOPROPYLETHYLAMINE (195 mL, 0.86 mol) (Aldrich) was added slowly to a mixture of 5-ethyl uracil (52.3 g, 0.37 mol) (from Example LC, suprn) and phosphorous oxychloride (150 mL, 1.61 mol) (Aldrich) with external cooling in a cold water bath. The mixture was heated at reflux for 3.8 hours and cooled to room temperature. Mixture was then poured into ice (300 g). Ethyl acetate (100 mL) was added and mixture stirred at 20 C for 30 minutes with cooling in an ice-water bath. The resulting mixture was filtered through CELITEE and the filtrate extracted with ethyl acetate-hexanes (1: 1,3 X 300 mL). The combined organic layers was washed with water (250 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to dryness. This residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate- hexanes (1 : 1) and filtered through TLC grade silica gel and eluting with the same solvent. The filtrate was concentrated to dryness to give 2,4-dichloro-5-ethyl-pyrimidine. (Yield 56.3 g, 85.2%).
