Potassium Iodide → HCID 21945997, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

(±)-5-(1-Bromopropyl)-2,4-dichloro-pyrimidine (0.26 g; 0.96 mmol) (from Example 7b supra) was dissolved in acetonitrile (2.5 mL). p-Anisidine (0.12 g; 0.96 mmol) (Aldrich), potassium carbonate (0.15 g; 1.05 mmol) and potassium iodide (0.04 g; 0.24 mmol) were added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature. After 16 hours, the mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic phase was washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. Purification by flash chromatography (Biotage 40S, 15:85 to 20:80 ethyl acetate-hexanes gradient) gave crude (±)-[1-(2,4-dichloro-pyrimidin-5-yl)-propyl]-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-amine. (Yield 0.19 g; 64.3%). This material again showed 3 peaks for the pyrimidine ring proton in the same ratio as was seen in the starting material. This material was used without further purification.
