Phosphorus oxychloride → HCID 43654681, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(4-chlorophenyl)pyrimidin-4(3H)-one (100 mg, 0.4840 mmol), suspended in toluene (2 ml), was treated with phosphoryl trichloride (443.0 μl, 4.840 mmol) at ambient temperature. The suspension was heated to reflux at which point the reaction became a colorless solution. After 4 hours, the reaction was cooled to ambient temperature and concentrated in vacuo to afford a white solid. The reaction was diluted with dichloromethane and washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The organics were dried with sodium sulfate, filtered, concentrated, and purified on silica gel. Elution with 2-20% ethyl acetate/hexanes provided the title compound (99 mg, 0.4399 mmol, 90.89% yield) as a white solid.
