Triethylamine → Ethyl 4-((3-chloro-4-methoxybenzyl)amino)-2-(methylsulfanyl)pyrimidine-5-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

In DCM (100 mL) were dissolved ethyl 4-chloro-2-(methylthio)pyrimidine-5-carboxylate (5.0 g, 21.55 mmol), 3-chloro-4-methoxybenzylamine hydrochloride salt (4.0 g, 23.4 mmol) and triethylamine (4.35 g, 43.1 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 10 h and washed with water. The organic phase was dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated to give ethyl 4-((3-chloro-4-methoxybenzyl)amino)-2-(methylthio)pyrimidine-5-carboxylate as a solid (6.0 g, 76% yield).
