Sodium Bicarbonate → 2-Methylsulfonyl-4-benzyloxy-pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(methylthio)-4-[(phenylmethyl)oxy]pyrimidine (P9, 245 mg) in THF/MeOH 1/1 (15.6 mL) was added a solution of Oxone® (2.6 g) in water (14 mL). After 40 min a saturated NaHCO3 solution was added and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by a silica SPE cartridge (10 g) eluting with dichloromethane/methanol from 100/0 to 99/1 to give the title compound as a white solid (230 mg).
