m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → 2-Methanesulfinyl-4'-methyl-[4,5']bipyrimidinyl-2'-ylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 4′-Methyl-2-methylsulfanyl-[4,5′]bipyrimidinyl-2′-ylamine (19) (380 mg, 1.629 mmol) in DCM (3.258 mL) was added mCPBA (402 mg, 1.629 mmol). The reaction turned to a brown solution, and immediately the reaction was complete. The reaction mixture was diluted with DCM and water. The organic layer was washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate and brine, dried with sodium sulfate, and concentrated. The crude residue was purified by flash chromatography with a gradient of 2-10% MeOH in DCM to give the desired product (70 mg, 17%). MS (ES+): m/z=250.1 (100) [MH+]. HPLC: tR=0.64 minute over 3 minutes.
