Potassium Permanganate → 6-Tert-butyl 2-ethyl 5-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-7-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine-2,6-dicarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 6-tert-butyl 2-ethyl 5-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-7-methyl-5,8-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine-2,6-dicarboxylate (191 mg, 0.42 mmol) in acetone (5 mL) was added KMnO4 (66 mg, 0.42 mmol). After 1 h, the reaction was filtered through celite and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was diluted with CH2Cl2 and extracted with H2O (2×). The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, concentrated under reduced pressure and recrystallized from EtOAc to obtain 6-tert-butyl 2-ethyl 5-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-7-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine-2,6-dicarboxylate (107 mg, 57%) as white crystals.
