Aniline → 5-bromo-2-chloro-N-phenylpyrimidin-4-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-bromo-2,4-dichloropyrimidine (6.84 g, 30.0 mmol), aniline (2.79 g, 30.0 mmol) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (3.87 g, 30.0 mmol) in n-butanol (75 ml) was heated under reflux for 4 hours. Volatile material was removed by evaporation and the residue was dissolved in DCM (100 ml). The solution was washed with water (3×100 ml) and saturated brine (100 ml) and dried. Volatile material was removed by evaporation and the residue was purified by column chromatography, eluting with 15% ethyl acetate/isohexane, to give the product as an oil which solidified on standing (5.12 g, 60%). NMR: 7.1 (t, 1H), 7.4 (t, 2H),7.55 (d,2H), 8.4 (s,1H), 9.2 (br s, 1H); MS (MH+): 284, 286, 288.
