Trifluoroacetic anhydride → HCID 46908652, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-(4-{[5-(2-amino-2-oxoethyl)-4-chloro-6-(dimethylamino)pyrimidin-2-yl]methyl}phenyl)-2-naphthamide (0.360 g, 0.76 mmol) in pyridine (15 mL) at rt was added trifluoroacetic anhydride (0.161 mL, 1.14 mmol) dropwise and the resulting reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 hours. The volatiles were removed in vacuo and the remaining residue was partitioned between EtOAc and saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution. The separated organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Purification of the resulting crude product by silica gel chromatography eluting with 20% EtOH in CHCl3 gave N-(4-{[4-chloro-5-(cyanomethyl)-6-(dimethyl-amino)pyrimidin-2-yl]methyl}phenyl)-2-naphthamide as an amorphous solid (0.345 g, 100%).
