Ammonia → 6-Chloro-2-phenylpyrimidin-4-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

An ice-cold suspension of pyrimidine 3 (44.34 g; 0.197 mol) in DMSO (366 mL) was saturated with ammonia, during which time a solution formed. After 24 h at rt, water (710 mL) was added dropwise. The suspension was cooled in an ice bath for 1 h then collected by filtration and washed with water (500 mL), yielding a light tan powder after drying in vacuo (37.84 g; 93%). LC (method B) tR=16.0 min; 1H NMR (200 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.33 (m, 2H), 8.44 (m, 3H), 6.32 (s, 1H), 5.12 (brs, 2H); 13C NMR (50.3 MHz, CDCl3) δ 165.1, 164.0, 160.5, 136.7, 131.0, 128.4, 128.4, 101.4; ESIMS 205.9/207.8 (100/34) [MH+].
