Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Anilino-4,6-dimethylpyrimidine (3.98 g) was treated with sodium hydride in a similar manner to that described in Example 8. The resulting sodium salt was then treated with cyanogen bromide (2.12 g) and the mixture heated under reflux for 4 hours. The mixture was then filtered through silica gel and eluted with dichloromethane and the solution evaporated. The residue was recrystallised from ethyl acetate to give N-(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)-N-phenylcyanamide, m.p. 153°-4°. (Compound 94).
