4,6-Dichloro-5-methylpyrimidine → 4-(6-Chloro-5-methyl-pyrimidin-4-ylsulfanyl)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-mercapto-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (1.5352 g, 7.06 mmol) and 4,6-dichloro-5-methyl-pyrimidine (1.1512 g, 7.06 mmol) in 15 mL of THF with sodium t-butoxide (1M in THF, 8.3 mL, 8.3 mmol) added dropwise. After 5 min, mixture was concentrated and residue was extracted with CH2Cl2 and H2O. Organic phase was dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to give 4-(6-chloro-5-methyl-pyrimidin-4-ylsulfanyl)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester as a yellowish solid (2.3469 g, 97%). Exact mass calculated for C15H22ClN3O2S 343.11, found 344.1 (MH+).
