4-Nitrophenol → 4-Chloro-6-(4-nitrophenoxy)pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Dissolve NaOH (2.8 g, 71.9 mmol) in water (90 mL) at 0° C. Add para-nitrophenol (10 g, 71.9 mmol), and then a solution of 4,6-dichloropyrimidine (10.7 g, 71.9 mmol) in acetone (90 mL). Stir the reaction at 70° C. for 24 hrs. Cool the reaction, collect the solid, rinse the solid with the mixture of acetone-water (1:1, 20 mL), and dry the solid to afford the title compound (18 g, 77.8%). MS: (M+Na): 274.0.
