Sodium hydride → 5-Bromo-6-[2-(5-methylthiopyrimidin-2-yloxy)ethoxy]pyrimidine-4-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(6-amino-5-bromopyrimidin-4-yloxy)ethanol (611 mg) in dimethylformamide (20 ml) is added sodium hydride (60% dispersion-type, 125 mg), and the mixture is stirred for 20 minutes. To the mixture is added 2-chloro-5-methylthiopyrimidine (461 mg), and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for three hours. To the mixture is added ice-water, and the mixture is extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer is washed, dried, and evaporated to remove the solvent. The residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography (solvent; chloroform/methanol=20:1), and crystallized from ethyl acetate/diisopropyl ether to give 5-bromo-6-[2-(5-methythiopyrimidin-2-yloxy)ethoxy]pyrimidine-4-amine (501 mg).
