Guanidine, 1,1-dimethyl-, sulfate → 4-Amino-2(-N,N-dimethylamino)-5-(2,3,5-trichlorophenyl)-6-trifluoromethyl pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of NaOEt (from 0.144 g of Na) in EtOH (12.5 ml) was added 1,1-dimethylguanidine sulphate (1.4 g), (Aldrich). The resulting white suspension was stirred at room temperature for 10 minutes. A solution of 2-(2,3,5-trichlorophenyl)-4,4,4-trifluoro-3-methoxybut-2-enonitrile (see Example 1.6) (0.85 g) in EtOH (2.5 ml) was added and the resulting mixture was stirred at reflux for 4.5 hours. After cooling, the suspension was filtered, and the filtrate was evaporated to dryness in vacuo. Chromatography on silica gel, eluting with CHCl3, gave the desired product, 0.61 g, mp. 124°-126° C.
