Experimental Procedure
8 Example 8 Preparation of compound 2 (N, N ‘-(5- (2-acetyl-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzyl) pyrimidine-2,4-diyl) diacetamide)
Add Compound 1 (trimethoprim) (10.00g, 34.45mmol) to a 250ml reaction flask,Acetyl chloride (9.80 ml, 138.57 mmol) and 100 ml of chloroform, and tin tetrachloride (8.00 ml, 68.36 mmol) was added under stirring, and the reaction was refluxed for 1 h.Cool down to room temperature, pour the reaction solution into 50ml ice water, stir for 6mins, separate the liquid, wash the organic phase 3 times with 5ml water,Combine the aqueous phases, extract the aqueous phase 3 times with 5 ml of chloroform, combine the organic phases, adjust the pH of the saturated sodium carbonate aqueous solution to 7-8, and separate the liquid organic phase 5 times with the aqueous phase.It was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The ethylene glycol monomethyl ether was recrystallized to obtain 12.98 g of the product with a yield of 90.58%. The purity was 95.52% by HPLC.erimental Procedure
General procedure: In a typical experiment, 0.5mmol of nitroarene and 0.002g(2mol%) NiNPs/DNA were added to 2mL water and thenstirred for 2-3min for thoroughly mixing. Subsequently,1mmol of NaBH4was added to the reaction mixture undermagnetic stirring at room temperature. The extent of thereaction was monitored by thin layer chromatography.Reproducibility of the results was checked by repeating theruns at least three times and was found to be within acceptablelimits (± 3%). When the reaction was completed, thereaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and the catalystwas recovered by centrifugation. The combined organicfractions were dried over Na2SO4and evaporated underreduced pressure. The crude product was purified by columnchromatography on silica gel with a mixture of ethyl acetateand n-hexane as the eluent, and the ratio of ethyl acetate andn-hexane was depended on the structure of the products.The structure of isolated products was verified by 1H NMR.
