Procedure

Into 10 ml of dimethylsulfoxide was dissolved 1.77 g of 2,4,5-trifluoronitrobenzene and 1.94 g of 3-methyl-2,6-dioxo-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydro pyrimidine. After adding 1.52 g of anhydrous potassium carbonate at room temperature, the mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 1 hour. The reaction solution was cooled to room temperature, and then the solution was poured into ice-water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was subjected to silica-gel column chromatography to give 1.51 g of 2,5-difluoro-4-[3-methyl-2,6-dioxo-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-1-yl]nitrobenzene.
