Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-bromo-2-chloropyrimidine (5 g, 0.026 mol), 4-aminothiophenol (3.24 g, 0.026 mol), and K2CO3 (7.14 g, 0.052 mol) in dry DMSO (50 mL) was stirred at 120 ° C. for 2.5 hours under N2. After cooling, the reaction mixture was poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and saturated brine and then dried. The solvent was evaporated to give a residue that was purified by silica gel flash column chromatography (ethyl acetate-hexane 1:3) to give 4-(5-bromopyrimidin-2-ylsulfanyl)phenylamine (4n), yield 74%. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 8.51 (s, 2H), 7.37 (d, J) 8.0 Hz, 2H), 6.72 (d, J) 8.0 Hz, 2H), 2.63 (s, 2H); EI-MS m/z 281 [M]+, 283 [M+2]+.
