Participants

Reaction Steps

Using general hydrogenation conditions, 2,6-dimethyl-4-nitrophenol was reduced to 4-amino-2,6-dimethylphenol. In a manner analogous to the preparation of N4-(3,4-ethylenedioxyphenyl)-5-fluoro-N2-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-2,4-pyrimidinediamine, the reaction of 4-amino-2,6-dimethylphenol (823 mg, 6 mmol) and 2,4-dichloro-5-fluoropyrimidine (500 mg, 3 mmol) gave 2-chloro-N4-(3,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-5-fluoro-4-pyrimidineamine. Compound 2-chloro-N4-(3,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-5-fluoro-4-pyrimidineamine (500 mg, 1.87 mmol) and 3-(methoxycarbonylmethyleneoxy)aniline (500 mg, 2.76 mmol) reacted to give N4-(3,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-5-fluoro-N2-(3-methoxycarbonylmethyleneoxyphenyl)-2,4-pyrimidinediamine (500 mg, 65%). 1H NMR (CD3OD): δ 2.16 (s, 6H), 3.76 (s, 3H), 4.51 (s, 2H), 6.79 (ddd, J=0.9, 2.4 and 8.1 Hz, 1H), 7.01–7.06 (m, 2H), 7.15 (s, 2H), 7.26 (t, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 7.93 (d, J=5.7 Hz, 1H); 19F NMR (282 MHz, CD3OD): δ −163.31; LCMS: ret. time: 20.44 min.; purity: 84.25%; MS (m/e): 413.03 (MH+).
