Methylamine → 2-chloro-N-methyl-7-phenyl-6,7-dihydro-5H-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidin-4-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2,4-dichloro-7-phenyl-6,7-dihydro-5H-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidine (Preparation G) (395 mg, 1.49 mmol) in THF (3700 μL), 2 M MeNH2 in THF (3700 μL, 7.45 mmol) was added. The reaction was allowed to stir at rt. When the reaction was complete, removed solvent and applied residue to silica gel. Eluted with EtOAc/Hex to afford the desired 2-chloro-N-methyl-7-phenyl-6,7-dihydro-5H-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidin-4-amine (80.8 mg, 0.220 mmol, 69.1% yield). LC-MS (M+H)+=260.1. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 7.07 (3H, dd, J=8.5, 5.5 Hz), 6.96 (2H, t, J=8.7 Hz), 4.72 (1H, br s), 4.23 (1H, t, J=7.2 Hz), 3.09 (3H, d, J=4.9 Hz), 2.67-2.77 (1H, m), 2.58-2.67 (2H, m), 2.01-2.11 (1H, m).
