Phenylacetylene → 4-Chloro-6-(phenylethynyl)pyrimidin-5-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethynylbenzene (0.092 mL, 0.92 mmol) was added to a solution of 4,6-dichloropyrimidin-5-amine (100 mg, 0.61 mmol), Pd(PPh3)4 (140 mg, 0.12 mmol), CuI (116 mg, 0.61 mmol) and DIPEA (0.5 mL, 3.05 mmol) in DME (6.1 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred in the dark over night at room temperature, diluted with DCM, washed sequentially with dilute aqueous citric acid and water, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduce pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography, eluent EtOAc/hexane (1:3), to afford title compound 251 (30.8 mg, 22% yield) as a yellow solid. MS (m/z): 230.1 (100.0%), 232.1 (33%) (M+1).
