Reaction Steps

To a solution of the tert-butyl 2,6-dichloropyrimidine-4-carboxylate (0.626 g, 2.51 mmol) in acetonitrile (10 mL) was added (S)-2-aminopropanamide hydrochloride (0.319 g, 2.56 mmol) and iPr2NEt (0.96 mL, 5.5 mmol). The mixture was heated at 50° C. for 6 h then concentrated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed over silica gel using 50-100% EtOAc in hexanes. The product fractions were evaporated in vacuo to give (S)-tert-butyl 6-((1-amino-1-oxopropan-2-yl)amino)-2-chloropyrimidine-4-carboxylate as an off-white foam (0.628 g, 2.09 mmol, 83% yield). LC/MS: m/z=301.2 [M+H]+.
