Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

25% ammonia solution (10 ml) was added to a solution of 4-chloro-6-(2-methoxy-phenyl)-pyrimidine (2 g, 9.06 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (10 ml) and the mixture was heated in a sealed tube at 110° C. for 8 hours with continuous stirring. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, concentrated under reduced pressure and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under vacuum to give 6-(2-methoxy-phenyl)-pyrimidin-4-ylamine as a white solid. Yield: 1.6 g, 87.9%.
