2,4,5,6-Tetrachloropyrimidine → 4-(2,5,6-Trichloro-pyrimidin-4-ylamino)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2,4,5,6-tetrachloro-pyrimidine (1.67 g, 7.68 mmol, 1.0 equiv; commercially available), 4-amino-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (2.0 g, 10.0 mmol, 1.3 equiv) and N-ethyl diisopropylamine (3.0 mL, 2.3 g, 17.7 mmol, 2.3 equiv) in acetonitrile (16 mL) was heated by microwave irradiation to 160° C. for 20 min. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the crude material purified by silica column chromatography using a MPLC system (CombiFlash Companion, Isco Inc.) eluting with a gradient of heptane/ethyl acetate providing 0.85 g (29%) of the title compound. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO): δ 1.41 (s, 9H), 1.49-1.60 (m, 2H), 1.73-1.77 (m, 2H), 2.81 (br s, 2H), 3.95-3.98 (m, 2H), 4.09-4.16 (m, 1H), 7.88 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H). 13C NMR (100 MHz, DMSO): δ 28.07, 30.45, 43.33, 48.90, 78.65, 109.37, 153.80, 154.62, 155.66, 158.74. MS (ISP): 383.0 [M+H]+.
