Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5.8 g (30 mmol) 2,4-dichloro-5-nitropyrimidine in 120 mL of tetrahydrofuran (THF) at −78° C. under Argon atmosphere was added 5.2 mL (30 mmol) of N,N-diisopropylethylamine followed by 3.1 mL (30 mmol) of N-acetylethylenediamine. The mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 30 min, allowed to warm to room temperature, and stirred for an additional 3 hours. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue purified by flash chromatography eluting with EtOAc to provide the compound of formula (2), N-(2-(2-chloro-5-nitropyrimidin-4-ylamino)ethyl)acetamide as pale yellow solid.
