2‐Amino‐6‐bromomethyl‐5‐phenylbutyl‐4‐pyrimidinol (IV) smoothly alkylated triphenyl phosphine, resulting in a 95% yield of the phosphonium salt (V). This Wittig reagent (V) readily condensed with p ‐nitrobenzaldehyde, p ‐nitrocinnamaldehyde, or cinnamalde‐hyde in N,N ‐dimethylformamide to give the 6‐( p ‐nitrostyryl) (X), 6‐( p ‐nitrophenyl‐1,3‐butadien‐1‐yl) (VIH), and 6‐(phenyl‐1,3‐butadien‐1‐yl) (IX) pyrimidinols in 72, 67 and 44% yields, respectively. Catalytic reduction of VIII and IX afforded the corresponding 6‐( p ‐aminophenylethyl) (XII) and 6‐( p ‐aminophenylbutyl) (XI) 4‐pyrimidinols.
