Triethylamine → (S)-2-((2-chloro-5-fluoropyrimidin-4-yl)amino)-3,3-dimethylbutan-1-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of (2S)-2-amino-3,3-dimethyl-butan-1-ol (5.0 g, 42.7 mmol) and 2,4-dichloro-5-fluoro-pyrimidine (5.7 g, 42.7 mmol) in DMF (50 mL) was added triethylamine (7.1 mL, 51.2 mmol). After 90 minutes, the reaction was diluted into aqueous saturated NH4Cl solution and extracted twice with EtOAc. The combined organic phases were washed twice with brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude residue was purified via silica gel chromatography (0-10% MeOH/CH2Cl2 gradient) to afford 6.7 g of the desired product, 1, as a sticky solid: LCMS Gradient 10-90%, 0.1% formic acid, 5 minutes, C18/ACN, RT=2.48 minutes (M+H) 248.32.
