“…benzene: ethyl acetate (9:1), benzene: ethyl acetate: Methanol (8.5:1.4:0.1). IR spectra were recorded in KBr on a Perkin Elmer Infrared RXI FTIR spectrophotometer and 1 H NMR spectra were recorded on Bruker Avance II 400 NMR Spectrometer using DMSO-d 6 and CDCl 3 as solvent and tetramethylsilane (TMS) as internal reference standard. All the compounds (4a-m) were synthesized by both the methods and it was observed that yield of the compound obtained by Method B is high as compared to that obtained by Method A (Table 1 c h l o r o p h e n y l ) -1 , 2 , 3 , 4 1 , 2 , 3 E t h y l -6 -m e t h y l -2 -o x o -4 -( 3 , 4 -d i m e t h o x y p h e n y l ) -1 , 2 , 3 , 4 -tetrahydropyrimidin-5-carboxylate (4i) -6 -m e t h y l -2 -o x o -4 -( 2 -h y d r o x y p h e n y l ) -1 , 2 , 3 , 4 c h l o r o p h e n y l ) -1 , 2 , 3 …”
