(Chemical Equation Presented) From the commercial 6-chloro-2,4- dimethoxypyrimidine (1) and by a photostimulated reaction with Me 3Sn- ions, 2,4-dimethoxy-6-(trimethylstannyl)pyrimidine (2) was obtained in 95% yield. By the cross-coupling reaction of 2 with 1-iodonaphthalene as electrophile catalyzed by Pd (Stille reaction), 2,4-dimethoxy-6-(naphthalen-1-yl)pyrimidine (9) was obtained in 76% yield. By hydrolysis of 9, 6-(1-naphthyl)uracil was obtained in 98% of isolated yield. When the three steps (SRN1 reaction-cross coupling reaction-hydrolysis) were performed in a one-pot reaction, 6-substituted uracils (1-naphthyl, 4-chlorophenyl, 3-chlorophenyl, 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorophenyl) were obtained (43-57%) of isolated pure products. When the electrophile was a benzoyl chloride, 6-benzoyl uracil (54%) and 6-(2-chlorobenzoyl) uracil (49%) were obtained in isolated pure products.
