Cyclopentylamine → 5-Bromo-2-chloro-N-cyclopentyl-4-pyrimidinamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a large sealed tube is added 5-bromo-2,4-dichloropyrimidine (3 g, 13.2 mmol) in 100 mL of EtOH. Then cyclopentyl amine (1.95 mL, 19.75 mmol) and N,N′-diisopropylethylamine (3.36 mL, 19.8 mmol) are added to the solution at rt. The solution is then stirred rt overnight. Solvent is evaporated and the crude is purified using silica gel chromatography (15% ethyl acetate/85% hexane) to give (5-bromo-2-chloro-pyrimidin-4-yl)-cyclopentyl-amine as a white solid (3.25 g, 89%).
