Water → 2-Chloro-4-[(4-methylphenyl)amino]-5-pyrimidinecarboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of p-toluidine (46.9 g) in DMF (100 ml) was added dropwise to a solution of 2,4-dichloro-5-pyrimidinecarboxamide (80 g) and triethylamine (63.9 ml) in DMF (300 ml) with ice cooling. The mixture was stirred for 2 h allowing to warm to room temperature, then added to water (1 l) and stirred for 20 min. The slurry was filtered and the solid washed with water. The solid was suspended in a mixture of methanol (500 ml) and ether (500 ml), stirred for 20 min and filtered to give 2-chloro-4-[(4-methylphenyl)amino]-5-pyrimidinecarboxamide as pale yellow solid (94.2 g).
