Triethylamine → Methyl 2-(pyrimidin-4-yl)benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of methyl 2-(6-chloropyrimidin-4-yl)benzoate (0.60 g), triethylamine (1.7 mL) and 10% palladium carbon (containing water (50%), 0.26 g) in methanol (20 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr under a hydrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. To the residue was added ethyl acetate, and the mixture was washed with saturated brine. The extract was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (0.49 g).
