Sodium hydride → Methyl 4-(4-fluorophenyl)-6-(1-methylethyl)-2-(methyl(methylsulfonyl)amino)-5-pyrimidinecarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

2.66 g (10.0 mmol) of methyl 2-[1-amino-1-(4-fluorophenyl)methylene]-4-methyl-3-oxopentanoate were introduced into 12 g of N,N-dimethylacetamide together with 2.70 g (20.0 mmol) of N-cyano-N-methylmethanesulphonamide. 440 mg (11.0 mmol) of sodium hydride (60% in oil) were added to this solution at room temperature over the course of 2 h. An orange-red clear solution was obtained. After 6 h at room temperature, the reaction solution was poured onto 25 ml of water. The suspension was stirred in an ice bath for 30 minutes, and the precipitate was filtered off and washed with water (2×10 ml). After drying in a high vacuum, 1.11 g (29.1%) of methyl 4-(4-fluorophenyl)-6-isopropyl-2-(N-methanesulphonyl-N-methylamino)pyrimidine-5-carboxylate were obtained in the form of a pale beige solid. The product still contained traces of methyl 2-[1-amino-1-(4-fluorophenyl)methylene]-4-methyl-3-oxopentanoate.
