Dimethyl Sulfide → Tert-butyl (6-formylpyrimidin-4-yl)carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of tert-butyl 6-vinylpyrimidin-4-ylcarbamate (4.4 g, 0.020 mol) in MeOH (200 mL) at −78° C. was bubbled O3 for 1 hour. N2 was bubbled through the mixture for 10 minutes and then dimethylsulfide (1.24 g, 0.020 mol) was added dropwise. After addition, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give the crude desired product (4.6 g, over 100% yield) which was used in the next step without purification. LCMS (ESI) m/z: 224.1 [M+H+].
