2-Aminopyrimidine → (1-Imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-2-yl-ethyl)-carbamic acid benzyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of pyrimidin-2-ylamine (3 gm, 31.5 mmol) and (3-bromo-1-methyl-2-oxopropyl)-carbamic acid benzyl ester (9.4 gm, 31.54 mmol) in EtOH (20 mL) was heated to reflux overnight. After completion, the reaction mixture was cooled to rt and EtOH was removed in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in EtOAc and washed with satd. sodium bicarbonate solution. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by column chromatography using silica gel (100-200 mesh) and 0-5% MeOH in DCM to provide (1-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-2-yl-ethyl)-carbamic acid benzyl ester: LC-MS (ESI) m/z 297.1 [M+H]+.
