1H-1,2,4-Triazole → 4-Chloro-6-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4,6-dichloropyrimidine (5.96 g, 40 mmol), 1H-1,2,4-triazole (1.381 g, 20.00 mmol), and cesium carbonate (13.03 g, 40.0 mmol) was stirred in DMF (25 mL) at room temperature for 16 h. The reaction was diluted with 100 mL water and extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic extracts were concentrated and purified by flash chromatography on a 160 g silica gel cartridge with 25 to 50% EtOAc in hexane to yield 4-chloro-6-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)pyrimidine (2.78 g, 38% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CHLOROFORM-d) δ ppm 9.21 (1H, s), 8.87 (1H, s), 8.15 (1H, s), 7.91 (1H, s). LCMS: RT=0.68 min, MH+=182.1.
