A serious of C4‐position aniline functionalized 5H‐pyrano[2,3‐d]pyrimidine derivatives were synthesized from the corresponding chlorinated pyrimidines and acetanilides. This process was approached by treating the acetanilide with NaH instead of aniline, where a dissociation of the acyl group in situ happened during the reaction. The strategy worked out the non‐reactive route resulted from the low reactivity of aniline. This C−N bond formation features mild reaction conditions, simple execution, and broad substrate scope.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
