Abstract

2-Isopropylamino pyrimidine, useful in the preparation of pharmaceuticals, is prepared by refluxing isopropylamine with 2-methylsulphonyl- pyrimidine in the absence of a solvent.

SPECIFICATION Synthesis of 2-isopropylamino-pyrimidine
Description The invention relates to a process for the synthesis of 2-isopropylamino-pyrimidine, a compound of use in the preparation of pharmaceuticals. Several syntheses have been proposed for 2-isopropylaminopyrimidine. For example European Patent Application No.79400393.9 describes the synthesis of 2-isopropylamino-pyrimidine by the action of an alkali borohydride and a carboxylic acid on 2 aminopyrimidine in the presence of acetone. Our British Patent Application No. 8019772 (filed herewith) describes the cyclisation of bis(isopropylguanidine) sulphate with 1,1 ,3,3-tetraethoxypropane. The aminolysis of 2-chloropyrimidine with isopropylamine is also known.
The invention provides a process for the synthesis of 2-isopropylamino-pyrimidine, the process comprising refluxing isopropylamine with 2-methysulphonyl-pyrimidine in the absence of a solvent. Using this technique, the 2-isopropylamino-pyrimidine may be obtained in a substantially quantitiative yield.
The synthesis of the starting material, 2-methylsulphonyl-pyrimidine, is described by Brown D.J. & Ford P.W. (J.Chem. Soc (C) 1967 568) with 50% yield starting from 2-methylthio-pyrimidine. The technique described by Brown and Ford comprises bubbling chlorine through an aqueous suspension of 2-methylthiopyrimidine at from 0 C to + 5"C. We prefer to vary this technique by passing the chlorine more slowly and reducing the reaction temperature to from -5 C to O C, thus obtaining a yield of approximately 90%.
The preparation of 2-methylthio-pyrimidine was first described by Boarland M.P.V. and McOmie J.P.W.
(J.Chem. Soc. 1952, 3716) with a yield of 62% starting from 2-mercapto-pyrimidine and methyl sulphate.
Hunig S. and Oette K.F. (Liebig's Annalen der Chemie, 1961,640, 98) obtained a yield of 83%. We prefer two apply the phase transfer catalysis technique of Dou, H. et. a/. (Phosphorus and Sulphur and the related elements, 1977, 3, 355), thus obtaining the 2-methylthio-pyrimidine in quantitative yield.
The following reaction scheme illustrates the synthesis starting from 2-mercapto-pyrimidine.
The following Example illustrates the invention.
EXAMPLE (a) S /nthesis of2-methylsulphonyl-pyrimidine Into a 200 ml reactor, there were introduced lOg (0.0794 mole) of 2-methylthiopyrimidine and 100 ml of water.
Chlorine was bubbled through slowly at slightly below 0 C. After 5 minutes, a solution was obtained.
Chlorine passage was continued, slowly, for 1 hour while maintaining the same temperature. During this time, the progress s-ithe reaction was confirmed by thin layer chromatography. The chlorine supply was then interrupted. The flask was shaken for 1 extra hour at 0oC. The pH was adjusted to 8 using potassium carbonate. The reaction mixture was extracted with chlorinated solvent. The organic phase was dried using anhydrous sodium sulphate, and the solvent was then evaporated off.
There was obtained a white product which was recrystallized twice from ethanol.
Yi Id 11.3 g : 90%. MP 70 to 72 C (literate 73-74"C).
Kbi Synthesis of2-isoprop ylamino-p yrimidine 2g (0.0126 mole) of 2-methylsulphonyl-pyrimidine were suspended in 20 ml of isopropylamine.
Refluxing was carried out, rapidly obtaining a solution. After 1 hour (the progress of the reaction being confirmed by .hin layer chromatography) the refluxing was stopped and excess isopropylamine was removed. 1O0 ml water was added and the pH was adjusted to 9 using soda wash. The reaction mixture was extracted with a chlorinated solvent. The organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate and the solvent was evaporated off. 1.7 g (1 000/0 yield) of 2-isopropylamino-pyrimidine was obtained.
The product could be used as such or in the form of its salts.
CLAIMS 1. A process for the synthesis of 2isopropylamino-pyrimidine, the process comprising refluxing isopropylamine with 2-methylsulphonyl-pyrimidine in the absence of a solvent.
2. A process for the synthesis of 2-isopropylamino-pyrimidine, the process being substantially as described in subsection (b) of the Example.
