Ammonia → 4-Amino-6-chloro-2-methylthiopyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Compound 6 was prepared from commercially available 4,6-dichloro-2-(methylthio)pyrimidine followed scheme 4. To prepare compound 6.1,4,6-Dichloro-2-(methylthio)pyrimidine was reacted with ammonia in THF in a sealed tube to provide 4-Amino-6-chloro-2-(methylthio)pyrimidine in good yield. Amino group of the resulting compound was protected with suitable protecting group such as BOC to afford compound 6.1. Compound 6.1 was then reacted with methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate in the presence of base to provide the amine protected intermediate, 2 which upon deprotection under acidic condition to afford methyl 4-(6-amino-2-(methylthio)pyrimidin-4-yloxy)benzoate (3). Reaction of compound 3 with hydrazine hydrate in methanol provided 4-(6-amino-2-(methylthio)pyrimidin-4-yloxy)benzohydrazide (6.4) in good yield. The hydrazide was then reacted with S-methyl N-[3-(trifluoromethyl-phenyl)thiourea in the presence of base to yield compound 6.
