Benzylamine → N-benzyl-2-chloropyrimidin-4-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2,4-dichloropyrimidine (0.500 g, 3.36 mmol) in isopropanol (10 mL) was cooled to 0° C., and benzylamine (0.360 g, 0.37 mL, 3.36 mmol) was added. N,N-Diisopropylethylamine (0.434 g, 0.58 mL, 3.4 mmol) was added and the mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature over 15 h. The resulting white suspension was concentrated to afford a white solid. This material was purified via column chromatography on silica gel (gradient elution with 0-50% ethyl acetate-hexane) to afford benzyl-(2-chloropyrimidin-4-yl)amine as a white solid. MS (MH+) 220.1; Calculated 219.68 for C11H10ClN3.
