3-Methylpentan-2-ol → HCID 17979109, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 4 ml of tetrahydrofuran was suspended 0.10 g of sodium hydride (60% in oil), to which 0.4 ml of a solution containing 0.21 g of 3-methyl-2-pentanol in tetrahydrofuran was added dropwise at 0° C., followed by stirring for 10 minutes. To this was slowly added dropwise 0.4 ml of a solution containing 0.30 g of 4,6-dichloropyrimidine in tetrahydrofuran, followed by stirring at the same temperature for 3 hours. To this was added dropwise 0.4 ml of a solution containing 0.14 g of 2-butyn-1-ol at 0° C. and further added 0.10 g of sodium hydride (60% in oil), followed by further stirring at room temperature for 4 hours. The reaction 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 0.29 g of 4-(2-butynyloxy)-6-(1,2-dimethylbutyloxy)pyrimidine (the present compound (16)).
