Valeryl chloride → HCID 69519934, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Valeroyl chloride (861 mg, 7.14 mmol) was added dropwise to a stirred suspension of 2-amino-5-nitropyrimidine (500 mg, 3.57 mmol) in pyridine (10 ml) and the reaction was heated at reflux for 4 hours under an inert atmosphere. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue stirred in 2N hydrochloric acid (100 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate. Solvent evaporation in vacuo yielded 2-(N-pentanoyl)amino-5-nitropyrimidine (658 mg, 82% yield) as a brown solid:
