Abstract

In the presence of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium, 2-iodo-4,6-dimethylpyrimidine and 4-iodo-2,6-dimethylpyrimidine reacted with ethoxycarbonylmethylzinc bromide (Reformatsky reagent) to give ethyl 4,6-dimethyl-2-pyrimidineacetate and ethyl 2,6-dimethyl-4-pyrimidineacetate, respectively. In contrast, the reaction of 5-iodo-2,4-dimethylpyrimidine with the same reagent resulted in recovery of the starting iodide. Similar results were observed in the reactions of various N-heteroaryl iodides.
