Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2,6-dichloropyrimidine (2.00 g, 13.4 mmol), 3-benzyloxyaniline (2.07 g, 13.4 mmol) and triethylamine (2.72 g, 26.8 mmol) in 1-butanol (20 mL) was stirred at 50° C. for 17 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated to remove most of the 1-butanol, the crude product was preabsorbed onto silica gel using chloroform and purified by flash chromatography (95:5 chloroform/methanol) to afford N4-(3-benzyloxyphenyl)-2-chloro-4-pyrimidineamine (1.70 g, 40%) as colorless oil: 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 10.2 (s, 1H), 8.16 (d, J=6.0 Hz, 1H), 7.48-7.24 (m, 7H), 7.12 (d, J=9.0 Hz, 1H), 6.78 (m, 2H), 5.11 (s, 2H); ESI MS m/z 312 [C17H14ClN3O+H]+.
