Thiophenol → HCID 66955966, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl 2-(2-chloro-4-methyl-6-p-tolylpyrimidin-5-yl)pentanoate (100 mg; 0.300 mmol), cesium carbonate (294 mg; 0.901 mmol) and thiophenol (0.092 mL; 0.901 mmol) were placed in a 2 mL reaction tube and dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (0.6 mL). The tube was sealed and irradiated in a microwave oven at 130° C. for 30 min. The reaction mixture was partitioned between brine and dichloromethane, filtered over a phase separator filter (1PS) and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude material was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel using a linear gradient of ethylacetate (5-40%) in heptane to give 57 mg (32%) of the title compound as a colorless oil.
