4-Methoxybenzylamine → 5-Bromo-2-(4-methoxybenzylamino)pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

5-Bromo-2-chloropyrimidine (300 mg, 1.55 mmol) was dissolved by heating at 120° C. in 4-methoxybenzylamine (2.10 g, 15.4 mmol), and the solution was stirred at the same temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was directly subjected to silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=30:1→5:1) for purification to obtain 5-bromo-N-(4-methoxybenzyl)pyrimidin-2-amine (445 mg, 98%) as a colorless amorphous solid.
