Chlorotrimethylsilane → 2-{[4-(Trimethylsilyl)but-3-yn-1-yl]oxy}pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of diisopropylamine (1.37 g, 13.5 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (20 mL) was added 1.6M butyllithium/hexane solution (8.44 mL, 13.5 mmol) at −78° C., and the mixture was stirred for 2 hr. A solution of 2-(but-3-yn-1-yloxy)pyrimidine (1.00 g, 6.75 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (2.5 mL) was added thereto, and the mixture was stirred for 1 hr. Chlorotrimethylsilane (1.80 mL, 14.2 mmol) was added, 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=10/90→40/60) to give the title compound (1.43 g, yield 91%).
