Condensation of pyrimidine carboxaldehyde (I) with 3,5-dimethoxy-phenylacetonitrile (II) using NaH in 2-ethoxyethanol provided the pyridopyrimidine (III). Then, regioselective condensation of (III) with tert-butyl isocyanate at the 7-amino group in the presence of NaH in DMF furnished the corresponding urea.
