2,4-Dichloro-6-methylpyrimidine → tert-Butyl 4-((2-chloro-6-methylpyrimidin-4-yl)amino)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2,4-dichloro-6-methyl-pyrimidine (1.25 g, 7.68 mmol, 1.0 equiv; commercially available), 4-amino-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (2.0 g, 10.0 mmol, 1.3 equiv) and N-ethyl diisopropylamine (3.0 mL, 2.3 g, 17.7 mmol, 2.3 equiv) in acetonitrile (16 mL) was heated by microwave irradiation to 160° C. for 20 min. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the crude material purified by silica column chromatography using a MPLC system (CombiFlash Companion, Isco Inc.) eluting with a gradient of heptane/ethyl acetate providing 1.15 g (46%) of the title compound. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO): δ1.24-1.31 (m, 2H), 1.40 (s, 9H), 1.80-1.83 (br d, 2H), 2.18 (s, 3H), 2.90 (br s, 2H), 3.87 (br s, 2H), 3.96 (br s, 1H), 6.23 (br s, 1H), 7.68 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H). MS (ISP): 327.4 [M+H]+.
