Sodium Carbonate → 4-Chloro-6-(5-chloro-2-ethoxy-phenyl)-pyrimidin-2-ylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 4,6-dichloro-pyrimidin-2-ylamine (0.50 g, 3.0 mmol), 5-chloro-2-ethoxy-phenyl boronic acid (0.61 g, 3.0 mmol), palladium (II) acetate (0.10 g, 0.46 mmol), and triphenylphosphine (0.24 g, 0.91 mmol) was added a solution of sodium carbonate (1.6 g, 15.2 mmol) in water (5 ml) followed by glyme (20 ml). The mixture was stirred under an argon atmosphere at room temperature for 3.5 hours. Acetone (20 ml) was added and the mixture was filtered through a pad of celite under suction. The filtrated was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with 15% ethyl acetate-hexane followed by 20% ethyl acetate-hexane to provide 4-chloro-6-(5-chloro-2-ethoxy-phenyl)-pyrimidin-2-ylamine (0.625 g, 73% yield) as a white powder.
