Sodium Hydroxide → N,4-bis(2-chloropyridin-4-yl)pyrimidin-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6.32 g of 1-(2-chloropyridin-4-yl)-3-(dimethylamino)prop-2-en-1-one (30 mmol) in 60 ml of 2-Propanol was added 2.52 g of sodium hydroxide (63 mmol) and 11.96 g of 1-(2-chloropyridin-4-yl)guanidine bis(trifluoroacetate) (30 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated to reflux under stirring for 20 h. After filtration, the precipitate was washed with 100 ml of n-butanol and 120 ml of iPr2O and then air-dried to yield 4.69 g of N,4-bis(2-chloropyridin-4-yl)pyrimidin-2-amine (yield=37%).
