Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

5-Bromo-2-iodopyrimidine (2 g, 7.02 mmol) was dissolved in dry toluene (30 mL) and cooled to −78° C. under nitrogen. n-Butyllithium (2.5M solution in hexanes, 2.95 mL) was added dropwise, and the reaction mixture was stirred for 30 minutes before dropwise addition of 1-methylpiperidin-4-one (0.9 mL, 0.01 mol). The reaction mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 1 h. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature, then diluted with 5% aqueous ammonium chloride solution (50 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine (50 mL) and dried over magnesium sulphate, then the solvent removed under reduced pressure. The resulting crude material (1.55 g) was sonicated in ethyl acetate (10 mL) and DCM (1 mL), then heptane was added. The solid that formed was filtered to afford the title compound (580 mg, 29.4%) as a brown solid. LCMS Method F: MH+: m/z 272/274, RT 1.20 minutes.
