Toluene → 5-Bromo-2-(3-(chloromethyl)phenoxy)pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

(3-(5-Bromopyrimidin-2-yloxy)phenyl)methanol (0.790 g, 2.81 mmol) in dichloromethane (9 mL) was cooled to 0° C. and treated dropwise with thionyl chloride (0.215 mL, 2.95 mmol). The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to ambient temperature and stirred for 1 h. Toluene (5 mL) was added and the mixture was concentrated to give the title compound (0.815 g, 97% yield) as a semi-solid. MS (APCI) M+1=299.0.
