Triethylamine → Carbonic Acid 4-(dimethylamino-methyleneamino)-5-fluoropyrimidin-2-yl Ester Ethyl Ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N′-(5-fluoro-2-hydroxy-pyrimidin-4-yl)-N,N-dimethylformamidine (0.10, 0.54 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (2 mL) were added triethylamine (0.20 g, 2.0 mmol) and ethyl chloroformate (0.065 g, 0.60 mmol), and the mixture was agitated on an orbital shaker at room temperature overnight. The reaction was diluted with CH2Cl2 and the solution was washed with water, dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated. The crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography (EtOAc/petroleum ether gradient) to yield 0.031 g (22%) of the title compound as a white solid: mp 124-126° C.; 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.67 (s, 1H), 8.19 (d, J=2.2 Hz, 1H), 4.35 (q, J=7.14 Hz, 2H), 3.21 (s, 6H), 1.40 (t, J=7.14 Hz, 3H); HPLC-MS (ESI) m/z 258 (M+H)+.
