Triethylamine → N-(6-(2-Fluoro-4-nitrophenoxy)pyrimidin-4-yl)pyrrolidine-1-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

6-(2-fluoro-4-nitrophenoxy)pyrimidin-4-amine (0.550 g, 2.2 mmol) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (10 ml). Then triethylamine (0.61 ml, 4.4 mmol) was added to the mixture with stirring. Then phenyl chloroformate (0.55 ml, 4.4 mmol) was added slowly to the mixture. The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 1.5 hours. Then pyrrolidine (1.8 ml, 22 mmol) was added to the mixture, and the mixture was stirred an additional 30 minutes. The mixture was diluted with sat. ammonium chloride and dichloromethane and stirred an additional 10 minutes. The organic layer was collected by extracting with dichloromethane (3×10 ml). Combined organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in-vacuo. The crude was purified by chromatography (Amino-Propyl silica gel column) in a gradient of 1-5% MeOH/dichloromethane to give an oil. The oil was recrystallized from dichloromethane/hexanes to give the desired product N-(6-(2-fluoro-4-nitrophenoxy)pyrimidin-4-yl)pyrrolidine-1-carboxamide (0.330 g, 0.95 mmol, 43% yield) as a yellow solid. MS (ESI pos. ion) m/z: 348 (MH+). Calc'd exact mass for C15H14FN5O4: 347. 1NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): 1.94 (s, 4H), 3.37-3.49 (m, 4H), 5.23 (s, 1H), 7.09-7.21 (m, 1H), 7.29-7.38 (m, 1H), 7.99-8.09 (m, 2H), 8.25 (d, J=0.73 Hz, 1H).
