Triphenylphosphine → 4-(6-(Bromomethyl)-2-chloropyrido[3,2-D]pyrimidin-4-YL)morpholine

Participants

Reaction Steps

(2-Chloro-4-morpholinopyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidin-6-yl)methanol 6 (2.0 g, 0.0071 mol) and 40 mL dichloromethane were cooled to 0° C. and triphenylphosphine (2.2 g, 0.0085 mol) was added. The solution was recooled to 0° C. and N-Bromosuccinimide NBS (1.5 g, 0.0085 mol) was added in one portion. The heterogeneous mixture became homogeneous yellow upon NBS addition. After 30 mins, the progress was checked by tlc. The reaction mixture again became heterogeneous yellow mixture and was stirred overnight at room temperature. A check by LC/MS showed the reaction was complete. The reaction mixture was concentrated to dryness, taken up in MeOH, and filtered to yield 2.13 gm (87%) of 4-(6-(bromomethyl)-2-chloropyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)morpholine 7 as a yellow solid. More product 7 precipitated from the mother liquor, filtered, and dried to give a second batch (133 mg) of product 7. Analyzed and confirmed by LC/MS.
