Hydrochloric Acid → 4-(4-Hydroxyanilino)-6-(2-chloro-5-methylanilino)pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared in a similar manner to that of Reference Example 4 from 4-(4-hydroxyanilino)-6-chloropyrimidine (Reference Example 5) by reaction with 2-chloro-5-methylaniline in butan-1-ol in the presence of catalytic concentrated hydrochloric acid. The mixture was heated at reflux for 18 hours, concentrated and the residue purified by column chromatography eluting with DCMN:MeOH: concentrated ammonia (94:5:1). Yield 84%. NMR: 2.26 (3H, s), 5.85 (1H, s), 6.68 (2H, d), 6.93 (1H, d), 7.19 (2H, d), 7.32 (1H, d), 7.46 (1H, s), 8.09 (1H, s), 8.44 (1H, s), 8.69 (1H, s), 9.11 (1H, s); m/z 327 (MH+).
