Pc. Unangst et al., SYNTHESIS OF PYRIMIDINE ANALOGS OF 2,6-DI-TERT-BUTYLPHENOL ANTIINFLAMMATORY AGENTS, Journal of heterocyclic chemistry, 32(4), 1995, pp. 1197-1200
The preparation of pyrimidine analogs of the 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol a
ntiinflammatory agents Prifelone (R-830), Tebufelone (NE-11740) and Ym
-13,162 is described. Grignard addition to the N-methoxy-N-methylamide
derived from ,1-dimethylethyl)-5-hydroxy-2-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid
yielded a series of 2-pyrimidinyl ketones. Further elaboration of an e
thyl ketone and cyclization with sodium cyanate gave a pyrimidinylimid
azole.
