2-Fluoroethanol → 4-[2-(2-fluoroethoxy)-6-iodo-1H-1,3-benzodiazol-1-yl]pyrimidin-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-[6-iodo-2-(trichloromethyl)-1H-1,3-benzodiazol-1-yl]pyrimidin-2-amine (1 g, 2.20 mmol), 2-fluoroethan-1-ol (900 mg, 14.05 mmol) and cesium carbonate (4.3 g, 13.20 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (10 mL) was stirred for 14 hr at room temperature. The reaction mixture was diluted with 50 mL of ethyl acetate then washed with 5×10 mL of water. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was purified on a silica gel column (ethyl acetate/petroleum ether, 10:1) to afford 150 mg (17%) of 4-[2-(2-fluoroethoxy)-6-iodo-1H-1,3-benzodiazol-1-yl]pyrimidin-2-amine as brown oil: LC-MS: m/z=400 (M+H)+.
