A new synthetic route of Ethyl 2-(methylthio)-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidine-5-carboxylate

At the same time, in my other blogs, there are other synthetic methods of this type of compound,53554-29-3, Ethyl 2-(methylthio)-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidine-5-carboxylate, and friends who are interested can also refer to it.

Electric Literature of 53554-29-3, 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. 53554-29-3, name is Ethyl 2-(methylthio)-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidine-5-carboxylate. A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below.

A mixture of 4-hydroxy-2-(methylsulfanyl)pyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (50 g, 0.234 mmol), POC13 (110 mL, 1.17 mmol) and diethylamide (70 mL, 0.28 mmol) was refluxed for 5h. The solvent was removed under vacuum and the residue was dissolved in ice H2O and cautiously neutralized with aqueous NaHCO3. After extraction with EtOAc (3×400 mL), the organic extracts were combined, dried and concentrated to give 4-chloro-2- (methylsulfanyl)pyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid ethyl ester as a yellow solid (42 g, 77% yield).
