TLC indicated no remaining 2,4-dichloropyrimidine. The reaction was cooled to ambient temperature, diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water (3×) and brine. The combined organic layer was dried (MgSO4), filtered and solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel to give tert-butyl 4-[(2-chloropyrimidin-4-yl)oxy]piperidine-1-carboxylate (410 mg, 1.3 mmol, 81%) as white solid. MS ESI: [M+H]+ m/z 314.2.
