Methanol → 4-(4-Aminophenoxy)pyrimidin-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

After suspending 4-chloro-6-(4-nitrophenoxy)pyrimidin-2-ylamine (1.60 g, 1.32 mmol) in a methanol (30 ml)-tetrahydrofuran (30 ml) mixed solvent, palladium-carbon hydroxide (300 mg) was added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours under a hydrogen atmosphere. The catalyst was filtered off by celite filtration, and after washing with ethanol, the filtrate was distilled off under reduced pressure. The obtained crude product was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (eluent-ethyl acetate:hexane=3:1), and the fraction containing the target substance was concentrated to obtain the title compound (910 mg, 4.50 mmol, 75%) as colorless crystals.
