Sodium hydride → 4-(2,2-Difluoropropoxyl)pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile

To a suspension of sodium hydride (60% dispersed in mineral oil, 1.84 g, 46 mmol) in THF (30.0 mL) was added 2,2-difluoropropan-1-ol (4.42 g, 46.0 mmol) at 0° C. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h, then 4-chloropyrimidine-5-carbonitrile (6 g, 43.2 mmol) was added in portions at 0° C. After addition, the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. The reaction was quenched with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to give a crude product, which was purified by silica gel column chromatography (10% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether) to afford the title compound (4.40 g, 22.1 mmol, 51% yield) as a yellow solid. MS (ESI) m/z 200.0 [M+H]+.
