Hexane → (4-Amino-2-(ethylsulfinyl)pyrimidin-5-yl)(2,3-difluoro-6-methoxyphenyl)methanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred solution of (4-amino-2-ethylsulfanyl-pyrimidin-5-yl)-(2,3-difluoro-6-methoxy-phenyl)-methanone (7.4 g, 23 mmol, Example 102) in dichloromethane (150 mL) at 0° C. was treated portionwise with 74% meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (6 g, 26 mmol) over about 30 minutes. The cold reaction mixture was quenched with 25 ml of 10% aqueous sodium thiosulfate solution and the layers separated. The organic layer was washed once with 10% aqueous sodium thiosulfate solution, twice with saturated aqueous sodium carbonate solution, once with brine, dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated. Trituration of the residue with hexane provided a quantitative yield of (4-amino-2-ethanesulfinyl-pyrimidin-5-yl)-(2,3-difluoro-6-methoxy-phenyl)-methanone as a colorless solid, mp 165 dec. Mass Spectrum (LR-ES) (M+H)+: 342.
