Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Acetic acid (0.234 mL, 4.08 mmol) was added to 2-chloro-4-methylpyrimidine (0.5 g, 3.89 mmol) and 3-bromo-5-methylaniline (1.096 g, 3.89 mmol) suspended in dioxane (7.78 mL). The reaction was heated to 120° C. overnight. Then, the reaction was cooled to room temperature and was directly purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with ethyl acetate/hexanes to give N-(3-bromo-5-methylphenyl)-4-methylpyrimidin-2-amine (1.08 g, 3.89 mmol, quant.) as a white solid. MS ESI: [M+H]+ m/z 278.0 and 280.0.
