Triethylamine → 4-(3-Chloro-4-methoxybenzylamino)-5-carboxy-2,6-dichloropyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A N,N-dimethylformamide solution 6 ml of 3-chloro-4-methoxybenzylamine 1.51 g and triethylamine 2.46 g is dropped over a period of 25 minutes under ice cooling a solution of 5-carboxy-2,4,6-trichloropyrimidine (prepared in Example 318 (1)) 2.00 g in N,N-dimethylformamide 12 ml, and the mixture is further stirred for 90 minutes. The reaction mixture is diluted with a 10% aqueous citric acid solution and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined extract is washed with water and an aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give 4-(3-chloro-4-methoxybenzylamino)-2,6-dichloropyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid as a pale brown crystalline powder 2.92 g. mp 144–151° C.
