Sodium hydride → 4-Chloro-6-(3-chloro-2,2-dimethylpropyloxy)pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 5 ml of tetrahydrofuran was suspended 0.14 g of sodium hydride (60% in oil), to which 0.5 ml of a solution containing 0.36 g of 3-chloro-2,2-dimethyl-1-propanol was added dropwise at 0° C., followed by stirring for 10 minutes. To this was added dropwise 0.5 ml of tetrahydrofuran containing 0.4 g of 4,6-dichloropyrimidine dissolved therein, followed by stirring at the same temperature for 2 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 0.62 g of 4-chloro-6-(3-chloro-2,2-dimethylpropyloxy)pyrimidine.
