Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1.83g (5.80 mmol) (2-methyl-4-o-tolyloxy-pyrimidin-5-yl)-carbamic acid tert.-butyl ester in 25 ml N,N-dimethylformamide 0.35 g (68.7 mmol) sodiumhydride (60% dispersion in mineraloil) was added and the reaction mixture stirred for 1 h. After the addition of 0.65 ml (10.4 mmol) methyl iodide at 0°, the reaction mixture was stirred for 2 hrs. The reaction mixture was poured into 100 ml ice-water and three times extracted with 80 ml CH2Cl2. The combined organic layers were dried (Na2SO4), filtered and evaporated. The residue was purified by chromatography (SiO2, CH2Cl2/ethyl acetate 40:1) to give 1.90 g (99%) methyl-(2-methyl-4-o-tolyloxy-pyrimidin-5-yl)-carbamic acid tert.-butyl ester as a colorless oil, MS (ISP): 330.4 (M+H)+.
