Ammonia → 2-Chloropyrimidine-4-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of the (S)-methyl 2-chloro-6-((1-methoxy-1-oxopropan-2-yl)amino)pyrimidine-4-carboxylate (3.719 g, 13.59 mmol) in 7M ammonia in methanol (20 mL, 140 mmol) was heated in a sealed tube for 3 days at 50° C. After cooling, the precipitated solid was filtered off and rinsed with MeOH (2×5 mL) then dried under vacuum at 40° C. to give (S)-6-(1-amino-1-oxopropan-2-yl)amino)-2-chloropyrimidine-4-carboxamide as a pale yellow powder (2.946 g, 12.09 mmol, 89% yield). LC/MS: m/z=244.2 [M+H]+.
