1,1'-Thiocarbonyldi-2(1H)-pyridone → 4-Isothiocyanato-6-phenoxypyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-phenoxypyrimidin-4-amine (0.288 g, 1.538 mmol) and 1,1′-thiocarbonyldipyridin-2(1H)-one (0.357 g, 1.538 mmol) in DCM was stirred at rt for 18 h. The pale orange mixture was purified by silica gel chromatography (5-35% ethyl acetate-hexanes) to afford 4-isothiocyanato-6-phenoxypyrimidine (0.55 g, 2.96 mmol, 85% yield) a yellow oil. LCMS R.T.=2.78; [M+H]+=229.94.
