Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

4-(2,5-Dichloropyrimidin-4-yl)-benzoic acid methyl ester (85 mg, 0.30 mmol) was dissolved in ethanol with 0.2 mL cyclopropylamine and the reaction mixture heated to 80° C. overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to afford 4-(5-chloro-2-cyclopropylaminopyrimidin-4-yl)-benzoic acid methyl ester as a solid, 90 mg, 0.30 mmol, 100% yield. LCMS: ES+=304.1.
