Aniline → N4-(6-aminopyridin-2-yl)-N6-phenylpyrimidine-4,6-diamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of N2-(6-chloropyrimidin-4-yl)pyridine-2,6-diamine (1) (0.25 g, 1.1 mmol) and aniline (2) (0.16 g, 1.7 mmol) in n-BuOH (25 mL) was heated at 120° C. for 12 h in a pressure tube. The reaction mixture was cooled, was dissolved in methanol (10 mL) and was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate (35 mL) and was washed successively with 10% sodium bicarbonate solution (20 mL), water (20 mL), and saturated brine (20 mL). The ethyl acetate extract was dried over Na2SO4 and was concentrated under reduced pressure to give a residue, which was triturated with diethyl ether to give (260 mg, 83%) N4-(6-aminopyridin-2-yl)-N6-phenylpyrimidine-4,6-diamine (3) as an off-white solid.
