Answer
![1-[(2-Hydroxyethoxy)methyl]-5-methyl-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione](https://static.chemtradehub.com/structs/687/68724-11-8-e887.webp "1-[(2-Hydroxyethoxy)methyl]-5-methyl-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione")
1-[(2-Hydroxyethoxy)methyl]-5-methyl-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione is typically synthesized by the condensation of 2-hydroxyethylamine with 5-methyl-2,4-dione. This reaction is catalyzed by a base such as potassium carbonate, and the yield is generally excellent with high purity. The reaction is carried out in an organic solvent like dimethylformamide (DMF).
