Sodium hydride → 2-chloro-N-(2-(isopropylsulfonyl)phenyl)-5-methylpyrimidin-4-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of NaH (60% dispersion in mineral oil, 40.0 mg, 1.00 mmol) in 2 mL of DMF at room temperature was added 1-amino-2-(isopropylsulphonyl)benzene (0.20 g, 1.0 mmol) as a solid in 3 portions. After 30 minutes of stirring at room temperature, 2,4-dichloro-5-methylpyrimidine (0.17 g, 1.0 mmol) was added as a solution in 1 mL DMF. The reaction mixture stirred for 3 h at room temperature. The reaction was quenched with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and the solution extracted ethyl acetate. The organic layers were combined, washed with saturated sodium chloride solution, dried with sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The crude residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (0-30% ethyl acetate:heptane) to afford the desired compound as an off-white solid (78 mg, 24% yield). MS/ES+: m/z=326.
