Water → 2-Methyl-4-phenyl-6-(2-butynyloxy)pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 10 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide were dissolved 313 mg of 4-chloro-2-methyl-6-phenylpyrimidine and 118 mg of 2-butyn-1-ol, to which 67 mg of sodium hydride (60% in oil) was added, followed by stirring at room temperature for 12 hours. The reaction mixture was then poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then concentrated. The resulting residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to give 260 mg of 2-methyl-4-phenyl-6-(2-butynyloxy)pyrimidine (the present compound (78)).
