Potassium Carbonate → HCID 178429526, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-chloro-4-(chloromethyl)-1-methyl-1H-imidazole hydrochloride (463 mg, 2.3 mmol), 6-methyl-2-sulfanylpyrimidin-4-ol (213 mg, 1.5 mmol), and potassium carbonate (1.1 g, 8.0 mmol) in acetone (15 mL) was stirred at room temperature overnight. The solid material was removed by filtration and washed with 50% acetone/MeOH (2×15 mL). The filtrate was recovered and evaporated. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (0-10% MeOH/DCM and 0-6% MeOH/DCM), affording 2-{[(5-chloro-1-methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methyl]sulfanyl}-6-methylpyrimidin-4-ol (1.0 g, 93% yield); 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 2.17 (s, 3H), 3.53 (s, 3H), 4.25 (s, 2H), 5.97 (s, 1H), 7.70 (s, 1H); M+271. The product was used without further purification.
