Ethyl Acetate → (3,5-Bis-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-[2-(butyl-ethyl-amino)-5-trifluoromethyl-benzyl]-(6-chloropyrimidin-4-yl)-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

{2-[(3,5-Bis-trifluoromethyl-benzylamino)-methyl]-4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl}-butyl-ethyl-amine (2.0 g), 4,6-dichloropyrimidine (1.19 g) and N-ethyldiisopropylamine (2.09 ml) are dissolved in toluene (10 ml) and the mixture is heated under reflux for 3 hours. The reaction solution is cooled to room temperature, and thereto are added ethyl acetate and water, and the mixture is separated, and the organic layer is washed with a saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=19:1→17:3) to give (3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-[2-(butyl-ethyl-amino)-5-trifluoromethyl-benzyl]-(6-chloropyrimidin-4-yl)-amine (1.8 g). MS (m/z): 613 [M+H]+
