Hydrochloric Acid → 4-(5-Hydroxy-2-methylanilino)-2-(3-pyridinyl)-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-chloro-2-(3-pyridinyl)-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidine (50 mg, 0.193 mmol), 5-hydroxy-2-methylaniline (36 mg, 0.290 mmol) and 2N HCl (150 μl) in water:ethanol (2:1, 10 ml) was refluxed for 24 h. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and neutralized with aqueous 2N NaOH to pH 6–7. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (75 ml), washed with water (2×20 ml), aqueous saturated NaCl (1×20 ml) and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The ethyl acetate solution was rotary evaporated to dryness and the residue was purified by column chromatography to give a yellow solid (18 mg, 27%). 1H NMR (Acetone-d6): 9.53–9.51 (m, 1H), 8.85 (s, 1H), 8.71 (dd, J=1.8, 4.8 Hz, 1H), 8.67–8.63 (m, 1H), 8.49 (s, 1H), 7.53–7.48 (m, 1H), 7.24 (s, 1H), 7.17 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 6.98 (s, 1H), 6.75 (dd, J=2.4, 8.4 Hz, 1H), 2.23 (s, 3H).
