Potassium Carbonate → Methyl 3-[(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)oxy]-6-aminopicolinate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A DMF suspension (50 ml) of 3.0 g (17.8 mmol) of methyl 6-amino-3-hydroxypicolinate, 3.9 g (17.8 mmol) of 2-methylsulfonyl-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine and 1.23 g (8.9 mmol) of potassium carbonate in a 100 ml round bottomed flask, was stirred at 80° C. for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into ice water and extracted with dichloromethane. The organic layer was washed with water, dried, concentrated and purified by silica gel chromatography (n-hexane/AcOEt=1/1+0.1 MeOH) to obtain 4.43 g (yield: 81.3%) of the desired product.
