Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 0.4 g (1 mmol) of 2-methylsulfonyl-4-methyl-5-(2,4,6-trifluorophenyl)-6-(2-methylbutyl)pyrimidine (Example 1.3.) and 0.2 g (3 mmol) of potassium cyanide in 20 ml of acetonitrile p.a. was stirred at 20° C. for about 16 hours. The reaction mixture was then concentrated, the residue was taken up in methylene chloride and the organic phase was extracted with water. The organic phase was concentrated and the residue was purified by column chromatography using cyclohexane/methyl t-butyl ether mixtures. This gave 0.3 g (94%) of the title compound as a colorless oil.
