(Diethylamino)sulfur trifluoride → 5-[2-Isopropyl-4-methoxy-5-(1-methoxy-ethyl)-phenoxy]-pyrimidine-2,4-diamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-[5-(2,4-Diamino-pyrimidin-5-yloxy)-4-isopropyl-2-methoxy-phenyl]-ethanol (1.613 g, 5.3 mmol) in 30 ml CH2Cl2 at −78° C. was added DAST (0.935 g, 5.8 mmol). After stirring 1.5 h, saturated NaHCO3 was added and the mixture was extracted by CH2Cl2. The combined organics were washed with brine and dried Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Purification via silica gel chromatography (95:5 CH2Cl2/MeOH) gave 5-(2-Isopropyl-4-methoxy-5-vinyl-phenoxy)-pyrimidine-2,4-diamine (0.044 g, 3%) as a foam ([MH]+=301) and 5-[2-Isopropyl-4-methoxy-5-(1-methoxy-ethyl)-phenoxy]-pyrimidine-2,4-diamine (0.075 g, 4%) as foam. [MH]+=303.
