Reaction of β-alkoxyvinyl α-ketoesters with acyclic NCN binucleophiles – Scalable approach to novel functionalized pyrimidines
Two protocols for synthesis of series of low-molecular-weight di- and tri-substituted pyrimidines bearing a functional group at the 4th position, which rely on a base-mediated condensation of amidines or guanidines with β-alkoxyvinyl α-keto esters, have been developed. This approach allowed for multigram preparation of novel pyrimidine-4-carboxylates in 21–90% yield. The synthetic utility of these compounds was demonstrated by some standard functional group transformations providing promising building blocks for organic synthesis and drug discovery.

Studies on Pyrimidine Derivatives. XXXII. Reaction of 4-Substituted 2,6-Dimethylpyrimidine 1-Oxides with Phosphoryl Chloride
The reaction of 2,6-dimethyl-4-phenylpyrimidine 1-oxide with phosphoryl chloride gave 4-chloromethyl-2-methyl-6-phenylpyrimidine exclusively.In contrast, 2,6-dimethyl-4-methoxy-pyrimidine 1-oxide and 2,6-dimethyl-4-dimethylaminopyrimidine 1-oxide reacted with the same reagent to give the corresponding 2-chloromethylpyrimidines predominantly.Keywords - pyrimidine N-oxide; chloromethylpyrimidine; phosphoryl chloride; siteselective reaction; substituent effect
