Potassium Carbonate → N-[4-(4-amino-2,5-difluorophenoxy)-6-chloropyrimidin-2-yl]acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-amino-2,5-difluoro-phenol (3.5 g, 24 mmol), N-(4,6-dichloro-pyrimidin-2-yl)-acetamide (5.30 g, 24 mmol) and potassium carbonate (3.4 g, 24 mmol) in DMF (100 mL) was stirred at 50° C. under nitrogen overnight. After cooling to room temperature the reaction mixture was suspended in water (300 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×200 mL). The combined organic layers was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography (15%-20% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether) to give N-[4-(4-amino-2,5-difluoro-phenoxy)-6-chloro-pyrimidin-2-yl]-acetamide (3.3 g, 44% yield) as a white solid. 1HNMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 10.72 (s, 1H), 7.20-7.24 (dd, J=11.2 Hz, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 7.00 (s, 1H), 6.64 (dd, J=12.0 Hz, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 5.48 (s, 2H), 2.03 (s, 3H).
