Sodium Hydroxide → HCID 178429705, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 8-(4-bromo-2,6-dimethyl-phenyl)-4-chloro-2-methyl-pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrimidine-6-carbonitrile (7.50 g), thiourea (7.11 g) in ethanol (50 mL) was heated at reflux for 2 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, poured into 0.5 M NaOH aqueous solution, stirred for 1 hour and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by a silica gel column chromatography (silica gel: Wako Gel (C200), eluent: chloroform/methanol=10:1) to give 8-(4-bromo-2,6-dimethyl-phenyl)-4-mercapto-2-methyl-pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrimidine-6-carbonitrile (7.52 g).
