Benzyl lactate → HCID 19006656, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Optically active benzyl lactate is etherified by means of diethyl azodicarboxylate (DEAD)/triphenylphosphine with 2-(4-octyloxy-2-fluorophenyl)-5-hydroxypyrimidine (prepared in accordance with Example 1) and the benzyl group is then split off hydrogenolytically. The acid so obtained is converted as usual into the nitrile (oxalyl chloride, ammonia, thionyl chloride). Optically active 2-(4-octyloxy-2-fluorophenyl)-5-(1-cyanoethoxy)-pyrimidine is obtained.
