Water → 2-Amino-4-phenoxy-6-(pyridin-2-ylmethoxy)-pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of 270 mg (0.98 mmol) 2-amino-4-methanesulfinyl-6-phenoxy-pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile in 10 ml DME were added 0.33 ml (3.45 mmol) 2-(hydroxymethyl) pyridine and 0.22 ml (1.48 mmol) DBU and stirring continued for 1 hour at room temperature. 50 ml water was then added and the resulting crystals collected by filtration and washed with ether to afford 40 mg (13%) 2-amino-4-phenoxy-6-(pyridin-2-ylmethoxy)-pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile as a white crystalline solid. ES-MS m/e (%): 320 (M+H+, 100).
