Abstract
2-Aminopyrimidines play a significant role in the composition of small-molecule drugs. The direct synthesis of 2-aminopyrimidines from pyrimidine has posed a challenge due to the complexities associated with achieving C2-selective amination of pyrimidines. This study presents the successful C2-selective amination reaction of pyrimidine utilizing phosphorus oxychloride as a regioselective controller. The resulting 2-chloropyrimidine intermediate can be further transformed into a variety of 2-aminopyrimidine derivatives in an aqueous environment.
期刊介绍:
Tetrahedron publishes full accounts of research having outstanding significance in the broad field of organic chemistry and its related disciplines, such as organic materials and bio-organic chemistry.
Regular papers in Tetrahedron are expected to represent detailed accounts of an original study having substantially greater scope and details than that found in a communication, as published in Tetrahedron Letters.
Tetrahedron also publishes thematic collections of papers as special issues and ''Reports'', commissioned in-depth reviews providing a comprehensive overview of a research area.
