Methylamine → 6-chloro-N-methylpyrimidin-4-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4,6-dichloro-pyrimidine(3.53 g, 23.7 mmol) and methylamine (33 wt % in ethanol, 10 ml, 80 mmol) in ethanol is kept stirring overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture is concentrated, triturated with water and filtered. The crude product is washed with water, a small amount of ethanol and ethyl ether sequentially, and air-dried to give (6-Chloro-pyrimidin-4-yl)-methyl-amine as white powder: 1H NMR 400 MHz (d6-DMSO) δ 8.36-8.16 (m, 1H), 7.69 (s, 1H), 6.50 (s, 1H), 2.90-2.68 (m, 3H); MS m/z 144.00 (M+1).
