Aniline → 4-Anilinopyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidine mesylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-chloropyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidine (84 mg, 0.5 mmol), aniline (56 mg, 0.6 mmol) and triethylamine (62 mg, 0.6 mmol) in EtOH (2 mL) are refluxed under N with stirring for 2 h. The crude reaction mixture is purified on a preparative tic plate (silica), eluting once with 3% MeOH in CHCl3. The major band is extracted, and evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure, and the residual solid is dissolved in acetone, (5 mL), filtered, and methanesulfonic acid (32 μL, 0.5 mmol) is added slowly with swirling. The precipitate is collected by suction filtration, rinsed with acetone and dried in a vacuum oven to give 4-anilinopyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidine mesylate (91 mg, 57%) as dull yellow needles. 1H NMR (DMSO) δ 11.75 (1H, slbrs), 9.11 (1H, dd, J=1.5, 4.3 Hz), 8.97 (1H, s), 8.32 (1H, dd, J=1.5, 8.4 Hz), 8.12 (1H, dd, J=4.3, 8.5 Hz), 7.88 (2H, d, J=8.2 Hz), 7.49 (2H, t, J=8.0 Hz), 7.32 (1H, t, J=7.0 Hz), 2.34 (3H, s)
