2-(4-(4-Chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy)phenyl)ethanamine → 2-{2-[4-(4-chloro-3-trifluoromethyl-phenoxy)-phenyl]-ethylamino}-5-methyl-1H-pyrimidin-4-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

5-Methyl-2-methylsulfanyl-1H-pyrimidin-4-one (25 mg, 0.16 mmol, 1 eq) and 2-[4-(4-chloro-3-trifluoromethyl-phenoxy)-phenyl]-ethylamine (60 mg, 0.192 mmol, 1.2 eq) were stirred in 300 μl of absolute ethanol for 50 hours. Solvent was then evaporated and the resulting crude was purified by chromatography on BIOTAGE SP1 purification device using 11 g normal phase silica KP—NH column and DCM/MeOH solvent system (gradient 0-7% of MeOH in 20 column volumes). Solvent from the gathered fractions of appropriate composition was evaporated and the crude was triturated with cyclohexane to obtain 2-{2-[4-(4-chloro-3-trifluoromethyl-phenoxy)-phenyl]-ethylamino}-5-methyl-1H-pyrimidin-4-one (24 mg, yield=33.9%, purity=96%) in form of white powder.
