Tetrahydrofuran → 4-{[2-(3-Chlorobenzyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-5-yl]carbonyl}thiomorpholine 1,1-dioxide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 4-{[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-5-yl]carbonyl}thiomorpholine 1,1-dioxide (500 mg), dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)nickel (II) (190 mg), tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) was added a 0.5 M chloro(3-chlorobenzyl)zinc tetrahydrofuran solution (3.2 mL), followed by stirring at room temperature for 6 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). To the obtained pale yellow solid were added 1,4-dioxane (10 mL) and 1-methylpiperazine (0.16 mL), followed by stirring at room temperature for 6 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 white solid was washed with ethanol to obtain 4-{[2-(3-chlorobenzyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-5-yl]carbonyl}thiomorpholine 1,1-dioxide (212 mg) as a white solid.
