Butylethylamine → Butyl-(6-chloro-2-methyl-pyrimidin-4-yl)ethyl-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-methyl-4,6-dichloro-pyrimidine (1.63 g, 10 mmol) in 5 ml of acetonitrile was treated with N-butyl-ethyl-amine (2.000 g, 20 mmol) and heated at reflux for 0.5 hours. The mixture was cooled, diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried and concentrated to give 2.271 g (100%) of title compound as a light-brown oil. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 0.93 (t, 3H), 1.13 (t, 3H), 1.22-1.36 (m, 2H), 1.45-1.6 (m, 2H), 2.43 (s, 3H), 3.25-3.60 (m, 4H), 6.15 (s, 1H) ppm.
