Tris(furan-2-yl)phosphane → 2-Chloro-5-ethenyl-N-methylpyrimidin-4-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (5-bromo-2-chloro-pyrimidin-4-yl)-methylamine (3.75 g, 16.9 mmol), tris(dibenzylidineacetone)dipalladium(0) (388 mg, 0.4 mmol), and tri-2-furylphosphine (777 mg, 3.3 mmol) in DMF is stirred for 20 minutes at room temperature and then tributylvinyltin (5.93 mL, 20.3 mmol) is added. After stirring for 16 hours at about 65° C., the reaction mixture is cooled to room temperature and stirred with a 10% aqueous solution of potassium fluoride (800 mL) and diethyl ether (600 mL) for 1 hour before filtering through a pad of Celite. The pad of Celite is rinsed with a further portion of diethyl ether (200 mL). The aqueous layer is separated and extracted with CHCl3. The combined organic extract is dried over MgSO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure to give crude oil which is purified by flash column chromatography (SiO2, EtOAc/Hx=1/4) to afford (2-chloro-5-vinyl-pyrimidin-4-yl)-methylamine (2.63 g, 92%) as a white solid.
