By condensation of N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N-[3-(4-nitrophenyl)propyl]amine (I) with 1,3-dimethyl-6-[2-(p-toluenesulfonyloxy)ethylamino]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (II) by means of NaOH in hot ethanol or methanol. The starting materials are obtained as follows: 1) The esterification of 3-(4-nitrophenyl)propanol (III) with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (IV) by means of pyridine in chloroform gives the corresponding p-toluenesulfonate (V), which is then condensed with ethanolamine (VI) by heating at 100 C to afford amine (I). 2) The condensation of ethanolamine (VI) with 6-chloro-1,3-dimethylpyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (VII) by heating at 90 C, or by means of triethylamine in refluxing isopropanol, gives 6-(2-hydroxyethylamino)-1,3-dimethylpyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (VIII), which is then esterified with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (IV) as before yielding pyrimidine (II).
