Water → 2-(3-chlorophenylamino)-4-trifluoromethylpyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid N-(tetrahydropyran-4-ylmethyl)amide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 2-[(3-chlorophenyl)amino]-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid (300 mg), triethylamine (197 μL), and toluene (6 mL) was added dropwise diphenyl phosphoric acid azide (265 μL), followed by stirring at room temperature for 30 minutes. Then, the mixture was stirred at 90° C. for 10 minutes, and a solution of tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl methanol (131 mg) in toluene was added thereto, followed by heating with reflux for 2 hours. To the reaction mixture was added water and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and saturated brine, then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: hexane-ethyl acetate). The obtained pale yellow solid was washed with ethyl acetate-hexane to obtain tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-ylmethyl {2-[(3-chlorophenyl)amino]-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-5-yl}carboxamide (178 mg) as a white solid.
