2-Chloro-5-fluoropyrimidine → 5-fluoro-2-[(3R)-3-methylpiperazin-1-yl]pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-chloro-5-fluoropyrimidine (239 mg, 1.80 mmol) and (R)-2-methylpiperazine (271 mg, 2.71 mmol) in iPrOH (1 mL) and DIEA (617 μL) was heated in MW at 130° C. for 30 min. Solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the crude (600 mg) was purified by chromatography on silica using DCM/methanol (9/1) as eluent to afford The title compound as a white solid (416 mg, quantitative). TLC-DCM/MeOH (8/2); Rf: 0.3. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 8.14 (s, 2H), 4.48 (d, J=13.2 Hz, 2H), 4.33 (brs, 1H), 2.98-3.13 (m, 2H), 2.83 (m, 2H), 2.67 (t, J=12.7 Hz, 1H), 1.20 (m, 3H).
