Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-chloropyrimidine (20.8 g) and 2-(methylamino)ethanol (180 ml) was heated at 120° C. for 15 hours and concentrated. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate, washed with an aqueous saturated solution of sodium chloride, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated. The residue was distilled under reduced pressure to obtain 2-(methyl-2-pyrimidylamino)ethanol (24.6 g, yield 88%) as a colorless oil. b.p. 130-132° C./1-1.5 mmHg
