Allyl bromide → N-[4-(2-Propenyloxy)phenyl]-4-(3-pyridinyl)-2-pyrimidinamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 2.73 g portion of dry 4-[[4-(3-pyridinyl)-2-pyrimidinyl]amino]phenol was dissolved in 50 ml of dry dimethylformamide. A 528 mg portion of sodium hydride (50% in oil) was added, the reaction was sealed and stirred for 45 minutes. A solution of 1.33 g of allyl bromide in 10 ml of dimethylformamide was added, the sealed mixture was stirred overnight and then evaporated at 80° C. The residue was partitioned between water and chloroform. The organic phase was separated, dried and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated and the residue crystallized from chloroform-hexane, giving 1.7 g of the desired product as yellow crystals, mp 105°-108° C.
