Participants

Reaction Steps

1 g of the alcohol of Example 3 was added to 220 mg of a 50% suspension of sodium hydride in oil dissolved in toluene (15 ml) and the mixture was stirred under reflux for 1 hour. 2-pyrimidinyl chloride (625 mg) in 10 ml toluene was added over 30 minutes. The mixture was stirred at reflux temperature for 16 hours. The mixture was then poured into brine and extracted with diethyl ether. The ether extract was dried over magnesium sulphate and evaporated to yield a residue which was purified on a silica gel column using 8% acetone in petrol as eluant to give 1.25 g (97%) of the desired product.
