Potassium Carbonate → Methyl 2-(4-((2-(3-chlorophenyl)-6-ethylpyrimidin-4-yl)oxy)phenyl)acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-chloro-2-(3-chlorophenyl)-6-ethylpyrimidine (0.200 g, 0.79 mmol), methyl 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)acetate (0.131 g, 0.79 mmol) and potassium carbonate (0.546 g, 3.95 mmol) in acetonitrile (5 mL) was heated to 85° C. for 7 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica, hexanes/dichloromethane) to afford the title compound (0.130 g, 65%). MW=382.84. 1H NMR (CD3OD, 500 MHz) δ 8.21 (t, J=1.8 Hz, 1H), 8.16-8.12 (m, 1H), 7.46-7.35 (m, 4H), 7.21-7.17 (m, 2H), 6.77 (s, 1H), 3.73 (s, 2H), 3.72 (s, 3H), 2.83 (q, J=7.6 Hz, 2H), 1.35 (t, J=6.4 Hz, 3H); APCI MS m/z 383 [M+H]+.
