Trityl chloride → Amino(1-triphenylmethyl-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-5-yl)acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Amino(1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-yl)acetamide dihydrochloride (1.33 g, 5.8 mmol), diazabicycloundecene (DBU, 2.6 ml, 17.4 mmol), and tritylchloride (1.61 g, 5.8 mmol) are dissolved in anhydrous DMF (20 ml) with stirring under nitrogen at room temperature. After 18 hours stirring the suspension is evaporated in vacuo, and the residue chromatographed (silica, chloroform/methanol, 9:1) to yield 1.64 g (71%) white crystalline solid, identified by 300 MHz nmr and ms m/z=398.
