Methanesulfonyl chloride → HCID 57818414, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-fluoro-2-(4-methylbenzyloxy)pyrimidin-4-ylamine (0.100 g, 0.43 mmol) in anhydrous THF (4 mL) was added LiHMDS (1.07 mL of 1.0M, 1.07 mmol) dropwise at room temperature, and the resulting orange solution was stirred for 20 min. Methanesulfonyl chloride (0.108 g, 0.94 mmol) was added in one portion and the turbid, light orange solution was stirred for 60 min. The reaction was quenched with brine (5 mL) and the THF phase was separated. The aq. phase was extracted w/ EtOAc (5 mL), and the organics were combined, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated to an orange gummy residue. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (SiO2, 0→100% EtOac/hexanes) to give 0.034 g (26%) of the title compound as a white solid: mp 145-148° C.; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.19 (s, 1H), 7.33 (d, J=7.9 Hz, 2H), 7.17 (d, J=7.9 Hz, 2H), 5.35 (s, 2H), 3.37 (s, 3H), 2.35 (s, 3H); HPLC-MS (ESI) m/z 312 (M+H)+, 310 (M−H)−.
