tert-Butoxy bis(dimethylamino)methane → 4-(4-(4-bromo-2,6-dimethylphenylthio)-6-((E)-2-(dimethylamino)vinyl)-5-nitropyrimidin-2-ylamino)benzonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 4-(4-(4-bromo-2,6-dimethylphenylthio)-6-methyl-5-nitropyrimidin-2-ylamino)benzonitrile (50 mmol) in DMF (300 ml) is added tert-butoxybis(dimethylamino) methane (60 mmol) over 15 minutes. The mixture is stirred at room temperature overnight. DMF is partially removed. The residue is washed with water and extracted with ethyl acetate (×3). The combined organic layers are washed with brine, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated to dryness to give the desired product which is used in next step without further purification.
