Cesium carbonate → [3-(5-Bromo-2-chloro-pyrimidin-4-yloxy)-cyclobutyl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (3-hydroxy-cyclobutyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (2.5 g, 13.3 mmol) in THF (40 mL) were added Cs2CO3 (8.6 g, 26.6 mmol) and 5-bromo-2,4-dichloro-pyrimidine (3 g, 13.3 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at reflux overnight. The reaction mixture was filtered and concentrated, diluted with EtOAc and water. The aqueous phase was extracted with EtOAc (3×100 mL) and the combined organic extracts were washed with brine (60 mL), dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated. Purification by flash column chromatography on silica gel to give the product (4.75 g, 12.6 mmol, yield: 95%). ESI-MS (M+1): 378 calc. for C13H17BrClN3O3 377.
