Cesium carbonate → 2-(1-(3-(2-(4-Morpholinophenylamino)pyrimidin-4-ylthio)benzyl)-1H-imidazol-4-yl)acetonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture of 4-(3-(bromomethyl)phenylthio)-N-(4-morpholinophenyl)pyrimidin-2-amine (100 mg, 0.22 mmol) and 4-cyanomethyl imidazole (47 mg, 0.44 mmol) in dimethyl formamide (2 mL), was added cesium carbonate (154 mg, 0.44 mmol) in one portion. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. It was filtered to remove any inorganic material, and the dimethyl formamide solution was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was column chromatographed on the silica gel using methanol:dichloromethane (4:96) as eluant to give the product (50 mg, 47%).
