Abstract
Conditions for the selective preparation of 5-carbethoxy-4-methyl-2-substituted pyrimidines or 5-acetyl-4-hydroxy-2-substituted pyrimidines by condensation of ethoxymethyleneacetoacetic ester with 1,3-binucleophiles are proposed. It is shown that under the influence of sodium ethoxide 5-carbethoxy-4-methyl-2-substituted pyrimidines undergo rearrangement to 5-acetyl-4-hydroxy-2-substituted pyrimidines.
