Chloroform → N-(2-methyl-5-nitropyridin-3-yl)-4-(pyridin-3-yl)pyrimidin-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 2-methylsulfonyl-4-(pyridin-3-yl)pyrimidine (3.0 g) and 2-methyl-3-amino-5-nitropyridine (5.0 g) in DMF (50 mL) at 0-5° C. was added sodium hydride (60%, 2.3 g). The reaction mixture was naturally warmed to room temperature and stirred for 6 hours. Chloroform (50 mL) and water (50 mL) were added to the reaction and the phases were separated, the aqueous phase was extracted with Chloroform (2×100 mL). The organic extracts were combined, dried, filtered, concentrated and the residue was purified by chromatography to provide_N-(5-nitro-2-methylpyrid-3-yl)-4-(pyrid-3-yl)-2-pyrimidinamine (5.2 g).
