Sodium hydride → 4-Chloro-2-[(2,3-difluorophenyl)methylthio]-6-{(1R)-1-[(4R)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl]ethoxy}pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (1R)-1-[(4R)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl]ethanol (the product of step iv) (0.24 g) in dry THF (10 mL) at 0° C. was added in portions sodium hydride (91 mg as 60% dispersion in mineral oil) followed in portions by 4,6-dichloro-2-[(2,3-difluorobenzyl)thio]pyrimidine (the product of example 1 step ii) (0.50 g). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 48 h then quenched with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride (10 mL) and diluted with ethyl acetate. The layers were separated and the aqueous layer extracted with further ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel using EtOAc/isohexane (1:19 to 1:9 gradient) as eluent to give the subtitle compound as a pale yellow solid. Yield: 0.42 g.
