Methanol → Methyl pyrimidine-5-carboxylate

참여 물질

반응 단계

Crude pyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid (2.4 g, 19.38 mmol) was suspended in 100 ml methanol in a round bottom flask fitted with a reflux condenser, drying tube, and a dropping funnel, and 2.8 ml thionyl chloride was added dropwise with stirring. The suspension was stirred and refluxed overnight; then cooled to room temperature and the solvents evaporated in vacuo. Ice cold water (50 ml) was added, basified to pH 8 (sat. NaHCO3), and extracted with chloroform (3×50 ml). The organics were dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated in vacuo to yield 2.07 g crude yellow crystals (77%).
