Reaction Steps
To a suspension of (3-Chloro-phenyl)-[4-(2-hydrazino-pyridin-4-yl)-pyrimidin-2-yl]-amine (2 g) in n-Butanol (40 mL) was added of 1.14 g of 3-benzoylpropionic acid. The mixture was heated at reflux. After 3 h, the mixture was cooled at 0° C. and the 4-({4[2-(3-Chloro-phenylamino)-pyrimidin-4-yl]-pyridin-2-yl}-hydrazono)-4-phenyl-butyric acid (2.19 g, 72%) was recovered by filtration. Mp 144–146° C., 1H NMR (DMSO-d6).12.0 (1H, OH), 10.4 (1H, s, NH), 10.1 (1H, s, NH), 8.77 (1H, d, 5 Hz), 8.42 (1H, d, 5 Hz) 8.12 (1H, s), 8.06 (1H, s), 7.80 (3H, m), 7.6 (1H, d, 5 Hz) 7.53 (1H, d, 5 Hz), 7.45 (3H, m), 7.34 (1H, t, 8 Hz), 7.08 (1H, m) 3.4 (2H, m), 2.95 (2H, m), MS (ES+) 473 (MH+, 100),. MS (ES−) 471 (M−1, 100). To a solution of 4-({4-[2-(3-Chloro-phenylamino)-pyrimidin-4-yl]-pyridin-2-yl}-hydrazono)-4-phenyl-butyric acid (0.48 g) in tetrahydrofuranne (40 mL) was additionned N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (0.23 g) and 1-Hydroxybenzotriazole (0.1401 g). The solution was stirred at reflux for 2 h then the solvent was evaporated. The crude was chromatographied, eluting with ethyl acetate to gave the title compound as a solid (0.3366 g, 78%).
