4-Nitrophenyl chloroformate → HCID 22725170, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a well stirred solution of (+)-5-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-1,6-dihydro-2-methoxy-4-ethyl-6-(2,4-difluorophenyl) pyrimidine (4.1 g, 10.62 mmol) and 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)pyridine (1.69 g, 13.80 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (200 mL) was added solid 4-nitrophenyl chloroformate (2.78 g, 13.80 mmol) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred for 12 h and washed with 0.5 N NaOH solution (2×50 mL). The organic layer was separated and dried (Na2SO4). The solvent was evaporated and the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel using dichloromethane/hexane (20%-50%) as the eluent to give (+)-5-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-4-ethyl-1,6-dihydro-2-methoxy-6-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-1-[(4-nitrophenyloxy)carbonyl]pyrimidine (5.37 g, 92%) as a viscous oil.
