The Pd‐catalyzed cross‐coupling reaction of 1, 2‐di(pyrimidin‐2‐yl) disulfides with heterocyclic amines including 2‐amino pyrimidines and 1,3,4‐thiadiazol‐2‐amines to deliver symmetrical C‐N coupling products in moderate to good yields is reported. This method provides an opportunity for synthesis of bioactive molecules and pharmaceutically interesting compounds containing heterocycle motifs. The reported protocol shows good functional group compatibility, and provides a new strategy for preparation of C2‐amination pyrimidine derivatives from heterocyclic disulfides.
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.
