Water → 2-[4-(2-Naphthalenylsulfonyl)-1-piperazinyl]-5-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid, ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

NaH 60% (0.0217 mol) was added portionwise at room temperature to a solution of 1-(2-naphtalenesulfonyl)-piperazine (0.011 mol) in THF (50 ml) under N2 flow. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour, then cooled to 0° C. A solution of 2-(methylsulfonyl)-5-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid, ethyl ester (0.014 mol) in THF (30 ml) was added quickly. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours, poured out into water and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was separated, dried (MgSO4), filtered, and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was taken up in diethyl ether. The precipitate was filtered off and dried, yielding 3.92 g (84%) of 2-[4-(2-naphthalenylsulfonyl)-1-piperazinyl]-5-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid, ethyl ester (interm. 8), melting point >260° C.
