“…The residue was purified by flash chromatography, using 97:3 chloroform-methanol as eluent. Recrystallization from ethyl acetate-ether gave 6.85 g (89%) of 9: mp 122-124 °C; UV Xmax 228 nm (e 18 300) and 270 (c 13 900) at pH 7, 229 (c 20900) and 270 (e 9800) at pH 12; NMR (DMSO-d6) 1.76 (s, CH3), 1.99 (m, 3-H), 2.17 (m, 3-H), 2.42 (s, CH3), 3.34 (m, 5-H), 3.60 (m, 5-H), 3.71 (m, CH20), 4.0-4.2 (m, 2-H), 4.8-5.0 (m, 4-H), 7.47 (d, J = 7.5 Hz, Ph), 7.55 (s, pyrimidine), 7.75 (d, J = 7.5 Hz, Ph); MS (Cl) m/e 380 ( + 1), 362 ( + 1 -H20), 253 ( -1 -Thy), 222 ( -1 -Thy -CH2OH).
