Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 500 mg (7.34 mmol) pyrazole in 15 ml diglyme at room temperature under argon was added 0.90 ml (7.34 mmol) potassium hydride (35% dispersion in oil) and the reaction mixture heated at 60° C. for 2 hours. 1.50 g (6.12 mmol) 2-amino-4-bromo-6-methylsulfanyl-pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile was then added and the reaction mixture heated at 60° C. for 16 h, then cooled to room temperature, 2 g of kieselgel added, and the mixture concentrated in vacuo. Flash chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane 1/3) afforded 390 mg (27%) 2-amino-4-methylsulfanyl-6-pyrazol-1-yl-pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile as a white crystalline solid. EI-MS m/e (%): 232 (M+, 61), 231 ([M—H]+, 100).
