Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Acetic acid (0.192 mL, 3.35 mmol) was added to commercially available 2-chloro-4-(propan-2-yl)pyrimidine (0.5 g, 3.19 mmol) and 3-bromo-5-methylaniline (0.900 g, 3.19 mmol) suspended in dioxane (6.39 mL). Reaction was heated to 120° C. (bath temp) overnight. Then, the reaction was cooled to room temperature and purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with ethyl acetate and hexanes to give N-(3-bromo-5-methylphenyl)-4-(propan-2-yl)-pyrimidin-2-amine (959.8 mg, 3.13 mmol, 98%) as a white solid.
