Pyridine → HCID 54568578, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.50 g (1.01 mmol) in 2-carbamoylmethyl-4-phenyl-pyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid (3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-methyl-amide and 0.17 ml pyridine in 10 ml dioxane 0.15 ml (1.06 mmol) trifluoraceticanhydrid were added and the resulting reaction mixture was stirred for 1 hr. at 50°. The reaction mixture was poured on Ice/H2O and extracted three times with 50 ml CH2Cl2. The combined organic layers were dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated. The residue was purified by chromatography (SiO2, CH2Cl2/MeOH 30:1) to give 0.25 g (51%) 2-cyanomethyl-4-phenyl-pyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid (3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-methyl-amide as a colorless solid, m.p. 114-116°.
