Methylamine → 5-bromo-2-chloro-N-methylpyrimidin-4-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a cooled (0° C.) solution of 5-bromo-2,4-dichloropyrimidine (5.0 g, 22 mmol) in methanol (42 mL) was added dropwise a 33 wt % solution of methylamine in ethanol (3.3 mL). The reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature. The reaction was then concentrated. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (0-10% methanol in DCM) to give 5-bromo-2-chloro-N-methylpyrimidin-4-amine (1.8 g, 39%). 1H-NMR (DMSO): δ 8.22 (s, 1H), 7.75 (s, 1H), 2.85 (d, J=3.9, 3H).
