Water → Ethyl 4-(2-(4-(2-methylsulfonyloxyethyl)phenyl)ethylamino)-6-ethylpyrimidine-5-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Triethylamine (0.88 g, 8.70 mmol) was added to a solution of ethyl 4-(2(4-(2-hydroxyethyl)phenyl)ethylamino)-6-ethylpyrimidine-5-carboxylate (1.50 g, 4.37 mmol) in methylene chloride (40 ml). The mixture was stirred under ice-cooling, and methanesulfonyl chloride (0.60 g, 5.24 mmol) was added dropwise to the mixture. The resulting mixture was stirred under ice-cooling for 10 minutes after the addition. Then, water (40 ml) was added to the reaction mixture. The mixture was extracted with methylene chloride and dried over magnesium sulfate. After evaporation of the solvent, the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with n-hexane/ethyl acetate (=1/1) to give the desired ethyl 4-(2-(4-(2-methylsulfonyloxyethyl)phenyl)ethylamino)-6-ethylpyrimidine-5-carboxylate (1.80 g, 98%).
