Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → 4-Hydrazinyl-2-methoxypyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 4-chloro-2-methoxypyrimidine (5.7 g, 39.4 mmol) in EtOH (100 mL) under Ar was added hydrazine hydrate (3.83 mL, 79 mmol) and the reaction mixture was heated up and stirred at 85° C. for 1 hr. Volatiles were removed under reduced pressure and the resulting crude material was purified by silica gel column chromatography (CH2Cl2/MeOH/1-5%/NH3 1%) to afford the title product (4.40 g, 31.4 mmol, 80% yield) as white solid. ESI-MS: 141 [M+H]+ (LC-MS 2); Rf=0.47 (CH2Cl2/MeOH 9:1).
