3-Butyn-1-OL → 2-(But-3-yn-1-yloxy)pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of but-3-yn-1-ol (4.59 g, 65.5 mmol) in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (120 mL) was added 60% sodium hydride (2.45 g, 61.1 mmol) under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred for 1 hr. A solution of 2-chloropyrimidine (5.00 g, 43.7 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (30 mL) was added thereto, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hr. The reaction solution was diluted with water, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane=20/80→60/40) to give the title compound (5.18 g, yield 80%).
