2,2,2-Trifluoroethanol → 4-[6-bromo-2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)-1H-1,3-benzodiazol-1-yl]pyrimidin-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-[6-bromo-2-(trichloromethyl)-1H-1,3-benzodiazol-1-yl]pyrimidin-2-amine (500 mg, 1.23 mmol), 2,2,2-trifluoroethan-1-ol (500 mg, 5.00 mmol) and cesium carbonate (2.5 g, 7.67 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (5 mL) placed in a 10-mL sealed tube maintained under nitrogen was irradiated with microwave radiation at 70° C. for 2 hr. The residue was purified on a C18 column (acetonitrile/water, 5:95-80:20) to yield 260 mg (46%) of 4-[6-bromo-2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)-1H-1,3-benzodiazol-1-yl]pyrimidin-2-amine as a yellow solid. LC-MS: m/z=+388 (M+H)+.
