2-Butyn-1-ol → 4-(2-Butyn-1-yloxy)-6-isopropoxypyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 0.5 ml of tetrahydrofuran was suspended 0.02 g of sodium hydride (60% in oil), to which 0.1 ml of a solution containing 0.02 g of 2-butyn-1-ol in tetrahydrofuran was added dropwise at room temperature. After stirring at room temperature for 20 minutes, 0.1 ml of a solution containing 0.05 g of 4-chloro-6-(isopropyloxy)pyrimidine in tetrahydrofuran was added dropwise at room temperature, followed by stirring for 2 hours. The mixture was then poured into a saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution, which was extracted three times with t-butyl methyl ether. The combined organic layers were washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then concentrated. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to give 0.05 g of 4-(2-butynyloxy)-6-isopropoxypyrimidine (the present compound (1)).
