Water → 5-(4-Iodo-pyridin-2-yloxy)-pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 259 mg (26.9 mmol) pyrimidin-5-ol (J. Chem. Soc. 1956, 2033) in 200 mL DMF are added 108 mg (26.9 mmol) sodium hydride (60% dispersion in mineral oil). The mixture is stirred for 20 min at r.t. After that time, 500 mg (22.4 mmol) 2-fluoro-4-iodopyridine are added and the mixture is stirred for 12 h at 80° C. Subsequently the mixture is poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×). The combined organic layers are washed with brine. After drying over sodium sulphate, the solvent is removed in vacuo and the residue is purified by column chromatography (silica gel; heptane/EtOAc, 100/0→40/60).
