Water → 2-Chloro-4-hydrazinylpyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2,4-dichloropyrimidine (1.49 g, 10.0 mmol) in ethanol (25 mL) was added triethylamine (2.02 g, 2.78 mL, 20.0 mmol) and hydrazine (321 mg, 0.321 mL, 10.0 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. Water was added and the mixture was extracted with dichloromethane. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatograghy eluted with methanol:dichloromethane (2 to 5% methanol) to give (2-chloro-pyrimidin-4-yl)-hydrazine (330 mg, 23%) as a white solid. MS (ES+): m/z=144.9.
