Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4,6-dichloro-5-methoxy-pyrimidine (5.62 g, 27.9 mmol) and 4-hydroxy-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (5.02 g, 27.9 mmol) in 200 mL THF was chilled to 0° C. A 1.0 M solution of potassium t-butoxide (30.7 mL, 30.7 mmol) was added drop-wise with stirring and the resulting mixture then was allowed to stir at 0° C. for one hour. Saturated ammonium chloride (100 mL) was added and the solution extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with brine and dried with magnesium sulfate, solvent removed to yield 9.10 g (94.8% yield). 1HNMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) a 1.48 (s, 2H), 1.79-1.83 (m, 2H), 1.99-2.04 (m, 2H), 3.33-3.39 (m, 2H), 3.72-3.77 (m, 2H), 3.91 (s, 3H), 5.30-5.38 (m, 1H), 8.26 (s, 1H). Exact mass calculated for C15H22ClN3O4: 343.13. found: 344.3 (MH+).
