Introduction

Heterocycles bearing a pyrimidine moiety are reported to show a broad spectrum of pharmacological properties such as antibacterial,¹ anti-HIV,² and anticancer.³ In this regard, antitumor and antiviral are two of the most extensively reported activities of pyrimidine analogs.⁴ Moreover, they possess insecticidal and herbicidal activities.^5–8

Transition-metal-mediated cross-coupling reactions have proven to be powerful tools for mild and highly efficient carbon–carbon bond formation.^9–11 Palladium (Pd)-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions are among the most versatile processes for carbon–carbon bond formation. Among these reactions, the coupling reactions of terminal alkynes with aryl and vinyl halides (Sonogashira reactions) play important roles in modern synthetic chemistry.^12,13 This reaction is one of the most widely used C–C bond-forming reactions,^14,15 furnishing an impressive route to aryl alkynes, which are interesting intermediates for the preparation of a variety of natural products,^16–19 pharmaceuticals,²⁰ and organic materials.^21,22

Accordingly, and based on our progressive endeavors in developing Pd-catalyzed reactions of acetylenes leading to heterocyclic compounds of biological significance via environmentally benign synthetic methodologies,^23–27 herein we report the synthesis of new derivatives of 4-(3-arylprop-2-ynyloxy)-6-methyl-2-(methylthio)pyrimidine via the Pd-catalyzed Sonogashira coupling reactions of 4-methyl-2-(methylthio)-6-(prop-2-ynyloxy)pyrimidine with aryl iodides.

Results and discussion

Treatment of 6-methyl-2-(methylthio)pyrimidine-4(3H)-one (1) with propargyl bromide (2) in dimethylformamide (DMF) in the presence of K₂CO₃ at room temperature led to 4-methyl-2-(methylthio)-6-(prop-2-yn-1-yloxy)pyrimidine (3) and N¹- or N³-propynylated pyrimidine (4) (Scheme 1).

Scheme 1.

Alkylation of pyrimidine (1) at the O- and N¹- or N³-positions with propargyl bromide.

Structures (3) and (4) were established by comparing their infrared (IR) spectra. The Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectra of compound (1), O-propynylated pyrimidine (3), and N¹- or N³-propynylated pyrimidine (4) are shown in Figure 1. In the IR spectrum of compound (1), a sharp N–H stretching vibration band was observed at 3253 cm⁻¹. Moreover, the band at 1698 cm⁻¹ was assigned to the C=O stretching of the carbonyl group (Figure 1(a)). The IR spectra for compound (4) showed an adsorption band at 1645 cm⁻¹, which was assigned to the C=O stretching of the carbonyl group (Figure 1(c)). In comparison, in the FTIR spectrum of O-propynylated pyrimidine (3), the characteristic band for the C=O group was not present (Figure 1(b)). Furthermore, the IR spectra for compounds (3) and (4) showed new bands at 3167 and 3124 cm⁻¹, respectively, which were assigned to the C–H stretching of the acetylene group.

Figure 1.

FTIR spectra for (a) compound (1), (b) O-propynylated pyrimidine (3), and (c) N¹- or N³-propynylated pyrimidine (4).

The ¹H NMR spectrum for compound (3) showed a singlet for the SCH₃ protons at δ 2.38, a triplet at δ 2.51 for CH, a singlet for the CH₃ protons at δ 2.56, a doublet for the CH₂ protons at δ 5.00, and a singlet at δ 6.30 for the CH of the pyrimidine ring.

For optimization of the reaction conditions, we chose the reaction of compound (3) with 1-iodo-4-nitrobenzene (5a) in the presence of PdCl₂(PPh₃)₂ (5 mol%) and CuI (10 mol%) as the model reaction, and the effects of the solvent, base, and various catalysts were examined. The results obtained are shown in Table 1.

DMF: dimethylformamide; r.t.: room temperature; DIPEA: diisopropylethylamine.

Reaction conditions: compound (3) (1.2 mmol), 1-iodo-4-nitrobenzene (5a) (1.0 mmol), CuI (twice the amount relative to the palladium catalyst), base (2.0 mmol), solvent (3 mL).

Isolated yield.

The reactions were performed using different solvents such as DMF, CH₃CN, EtOH, and 1,4-dioxane in the presence of Et₃N as the base at room temperature. As can be seen, the highest reaction yield was obtained when CH₃CN was used as the solvent (Table 1, entry 4). Moreover, other parameters such as the base and reaction temperature were also investigated. When organic bases such as Et₃N, diisopropylethylamine, pyrrolidine, pyridine, and piperidine were used (Table 1, entries 4–8), the best results were obtained in the case of Et₃N (Table 1, entry 4). Also, several catalytic palladium sources such as Pd/C, Pd(PhCN)₂Cl₂, and PdCl₂(PPh₃)₂ were screened in CH₃CN. It was found that PdCl₂(PPh₃)₂ was the best catalyst for this reaction condition (Table 1, entry 4). The conditions with respect to the amount of catalyst were optimized. Decreasing the loading of the catalyst to 2.0 mol% lowered the reaction yield dramatically (Table 1, entry 11). However, increasing the amount of catalyst to 10 mol% only shortened the reaction time and did not have any effect on the reaction yield (Table 2, entry 12). No Sonogashira coupling reaction was observed when CuI alone was used as the catalyst (Table 1, entry 13). Furthermore, the effect of the temperature on the reaction yield was investigated. As shown in Table 1, increasing the temperature did not improve the reaction yield (Table 2, entries 14 and 15).

Reaction conditions: compound (3) (1.2 mmol), aryl iodide (5) (1.0 mmol), PdCl₂(PPh₃)₂ (5.0 mol%), CuI (10 mol%), CH₃CN (3 mL), Et₃N (2.0 mmol), room temperature.

Isolated yield.

Using the optimized reaction conditions (Table 1, entry 4), the scope of the reaction was explored with various electron-poor aryl iodides (5a–g) and 4-methyl-2-(methylthio)-6-(prop-2-yn-1-yloxy)pyrimidine (3) (Table 2). As can be seen, the presence of electron-withdrawing groups such as –NO₂ and –Cl on the aryl iodides was essential for a successful reaction. When phenyl iodide, p-iodoanisole, or p-iodoaniline were used as the aryl iodide, the Sonogashira coupling reaction did not occur. Besides, when less reactive aryl bromides such as 2-bromonitrobenzene, 3-bromonitrobenzene, and 4-bromonitrobenzene were used, the coupling product was not formed.

Mechanistic details for the formation of 4-(3-arylprop-2-ynyloxy)-6-methyl-2-(methylthio)pyrimidines (6a–g) are as follows (Scheme 2): (1) formation of ArPdI (B) through oxidative addition of Pd(0) (A) to ArI;¹² (2) transmetallation of ArPdI (B) with the Cu salt of (C), generating the alkynyl palladium species (D); and (3) extrusion of Pd(0) resulting in the formation of 4-(3-arylprop-2-ynyloxy)-6-methyl-2-(methylthio)pyrimidines (6a–g).

Conclusion

We have described an efficient method for the synthesis of 4-(3-arylprop-2-ynyloxy)-6-methyl-2-(methylthio)pyrimidines catalyzed by Pd–Cu through Sonogashira coupling reactions of 4-methyl-2-(methylthio)-6-(prop-2-yn-1-yloxy)pyrimidine (3) with electron-poor aryl iodides in high-to-excellent reaction yields.

Experiment

General

The reagents and solvents used were supplied from Merck, Fluka, or Aldrich. Melting points were determined using a brand electro-thermal C14500 apparatus. The reaction progress and the purity of compounds were monitored using thin-layer chromatography (TLC) using silica gel plates (Merck 60 F250). All known compounds were identified by comparing their melting points and ¹H NMR data with those of authentic samples. The ¹H NMR (300 MHz) and ¹³C NMR (75 MHz) spectra were recorded on a Bruker Avance DPX-250 FT-NMR spectrometer. The chemical shifts are given as δ values against tetramethylsilane as the internal standard, and the J values are given in Hertz. Microanalysis was performed on a PerkinElmer 240-B microanalyzer.

After completion of the reaction, the crude product was subjected to flash column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate = 10:1) to afford the pure product (see Table 2).
