3,4,5-Trimethoxyaniline → HCID 21995314, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Methylsulphonyl-4-phenoxypyrimidine (0.76 g, 3.04 mmol) and 3,4,5-trimethoxyaniline (0.56 g, 4.0 mmol) were heated as a melt at 140° for 2 h. On cooling the residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate (50 ml) and 2M hydrochloric acid (50 ml), and the organic layer was washed with water (50 ml), dried (MgSO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to column chromatography [silica 20% ethyl acetate-hexane] to give the title compound (18 mg) as a white solid m.p. 149° after recrystallisation from ethyl acetate. δH (CDCl3) 8.26 (1H, d, J 5.6 Hz), 7.39 (2H, m), 7.26 (1H,m), 7.18-7.15 (2H, m), 6.73 (2H, s), 6.31 (1H, d, J 5.6 Hz), 3.77 (3H, s) and 3.64 (6H, s). MS m/z 354 (M+H)+.
