2,4,6-Trichloropyrimidine → 2-(2,6-Dichloropyrimidin-4-ylamino)-4-methylpentanoic acid (3-ethoxypropyl)amide

Participants

Reaction Steps

2,4,6-trichloropyrimidine (1.0 g), L-leucine-3-ethoxypropylamide hydrochloride (17 mL of a 0.32 M solution in DMSO), and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (3.0 mL) were stirred for 24 h in 20 mL methyl sulfoxide at 60 C. The solution was cooled to room temperature and diluted with ethyl acetate (100 mL), then washed 4 times with 100 mL aliquots of a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride. Silica gel chromatography (gradient: 20–40–50–100% ethyl acetate in hexanes) followed by semi-preparative HPLC purification of mixed fractions provided 1.06 g of 2-(2,6-dichloropyrimidin-4-ylamino)-4-methylpentanoic acid (3-ethoxypropyl)amide as a colorless oil
