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

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of 130 mg (0.50 mmol) 2-amino-4-chloro-6-(pyridin-2-ylmethoxy)-pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile in 10 ml DME were added 0.17 ml (1.74 mmol) 2-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine and 0.11 ml (0.75 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 80 mg (48%) 2-amino-4,6-bis-(pyridin-2-ylmethoxy)-pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile as a white crystalline solid. ES-MS m/e (%): 357 (M+Na+, 40), 335 (M+H+, 100).
