Ethanol → HCID 22385757, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred mixture of bromoacetaldehyde diethyl acetal (3.43 ml, 22.1 mmol) in concentrated hydrobromic acid (1.1 ml) and water (1.1 ml) was heated at reflux under nitrogen for 2 h, then poured into ethanol (57 ml). The solution was neutralised to pH 7 with solid sodium hydrogen carbonate, then filtered. To the filtrate was added 4-amino-6-methylpyrimidine (1.0063 g, 9.22 mmol) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min then at 60° C. for 19 h. After allowing to cool, the solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, 5-10% MeOH/CH2CO2) to give 0.5071 g (41%) of the title compound: 1H NMR (360 MHz, CDCl3) δ 2.54 (3H, s), 7.33 (1H, s), 7.59 (1H, s), 7.62 (1H, d, J 1.2 Hz), 8.96 (1H, s); MS (ES+) m/z 134 [M+H]+.
