Participants

Reaction Steps

6-chloro-2-phenylpyrimidin-4-amine (4) (830 mg) was dissolved in anhydrous DCM (50 ml). To this was added dropwise a solution of bromoacetylbromide (1.05 ml in 10 ml DCM), forming a precipitate after 10 min. To this was then added dropwise a solution of N,N-diisopropylethylamine (1.06 ml in 10 ml DCM) and the solution left for 1 hr. The solvent was removed in vacuo, then the crude solid purified by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with a mixture of ethyl acetate and petroleum ether (1:9 then 1:1v/v), furnishing the title compound as a solid (1.09 g).
