General description

2,4-Dichloro-6-methylpyrimidine undergoes double cross-coupling reaction with 2-(tributylstannyl)pyridine, followed by aldol condensation to yield 4-arylvinyl-2,6-di(pyridin-2-yl)pyrimidines. It reacts with 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecanethiol during fluorous synthesis of disubstituted pyrimidines.

Application

2,4-Dichloro-6-methylpyrimidine was used in the synthesis of (2-chloro-6-methyl-pyrimidin-4-yl)-(2,3-dihydro-benzothiazol-6-yl)-amine.

A series of 4-arylvinyl-2,6-di(pyridin-2-yl)pyrimidines have been efficiently prepared by a double cross-coupling reaction between 2,4-dichloro-6-methylpyrimidine and 2-(tributylstannyl)pyridine, followed by aldol condensation with the appropriate aromatic aldehyde substituted with electron-donating, electron-withdrawing, dendritic, or water-soluble groups. The effect of different protic and

[reaction: see text] The fluorous synthesis of disubstituted pyrimidines is carried out by attaching 2,4-dichloro-6-methylpyrimidine with 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecanethiol. The tagged substrate is substituted with 3-(trifluoromethyl)pyrazole followed by thioether oxidation and tag displacement with amines or thiols. The fluorous chain serves as
