Dimethyl Sulfide → 2-(4-((2-(3-Chlorophenyl)-6-ethylpyrimidin-4-yl)oxy)phenyl)ethanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 2-(4-((2-(3-chlorophenyl)-6-ethylpyrimidin-4-yl)oxy)phenyl)acetate (0.075 g, 0.20 mmol) in THF (1.3 mL) at 0° C. was added BH3.SMe2 (0.031 g, 0.39 mmol). The mixture was warmed to rt and stirred overnight. After this time, the reaction was quenched with 0.5M HCl, diluted with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, 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, methanol/dichloromethane) to afford the title compound as a white solid (0.052 g, 69%). MW=354.83. 1H NMR (DMSO-do, 500 MHz) δ 8.17-8.10 (m, 2H), 7.59-7.54 (m, 1H), 7.51 (t, J=7.9 Hz, 1H), 7.37-7.32 (m, 2H), 7.22-7.17 (m, 2H), 6.88 (s, 1H), 4.67 (t, J=5.2 Hz, 1H), 3.68-3.62 (m, 2H), 2.79 (q, J=7.3 Hz, 4H), 1.28 (t, J=7.6 Hz, 3H); APCI MS m/z 355 [M+H]+.
