Regioselective Alkylation and Arylation At The 6-Position Of Pyrimidine: Synthesis Of 5- Alkyl-6-Arylmethyl-2,4-Pyrimidinediones

Abstract

5-Alkyl-2,4,6-trichloropyrimidines reacted with various nucleophiles to afford the regioselectively 6-substituted pyrimidines as the major products in good yields, which were transformed to 5-alkyl-6-arylmethyl-2,4-pyrimidinediones of a key intermediate of MKC-442.
