3,3-Dimethyl-2-butanol → HCID 17979071, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 4 ml of tetrahydrofuran was suspended 0.11 g of sodium hydride (60% in oil), to which 0.5 ml of tetrahydrofuran containing 0.23 g of 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanol dissolved therein was added dropwise at room temperature, followed by stirring for 10 minutes. To this was added dropwise 0.5 ml of tetrahydrofuran containing 0.3 g of 4,6-dichloropyrimidine dissolved therein, followed by stirring at the same temperature for 6 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 0.24 g of 4-chloro-6-(1,2,2-trimethylpropyloxy)pyrimidine.
