The reaction of 2,4-dichloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidine with 1H-pyrazole gave two structural isomers in a 1:1 ratio that were separable by The title compound, C8H4ClF3N4, was the first product to elute and was characterized in the present study to confirm that substitution by the pyrazolyl group had occurred at position 4. The molecule (with the exception of the F atoms) is essentially planar, with a mean deviation of 0.034 Å from the least-squares plane through all non-H and non-F atoms. The bond angles in the pyrimidine ring show a pronounced alternating pattern with three angles, including those at the two N atoms being narrower, and the remaining three wider than 120°.

2-Chloro-4-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidine and 4-chloro-2-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidine. To a N,N-dimethylacetamide (46.0 ml) solution of pyrazole (726 mg, 10.7 mmol) and potassium carbonate (3.84 g, 27.8 mmol) was added 2,4-dichloro-5-trifluoromethyl-pyrimidine (2.01 g, 1.250 ml, 9.27 mmol) by syringe in one shot at rt. The mixture was stirred overnight and monitored by TLC (20% EtOAc/heptane). After consumption of starting material, the reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with EtOAc (3×). The organic layers were combined, dried, and concentrated. The crude residue was subjected to flash
(silica gel, 0-40% EtOAc/heptane), and three major bands eluted. The first major band was isolated to give 460 mg (20%) of 2-chloro-4-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidine. The second band was also collected to give 460 mg (20%) of 4-chloro-2-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidine. The third band was found to be 2,4-di(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidine and was not isolated. X-ray quality crystals of the first product to elute were grown in DCM/heptane upon slow evaporation.2-chloro-4-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidine: 1H NMR (400 MHz, CHLOROFORM-d) δ ppm 6.56 (dd, J=2.77, 1.51 Hz, 1 H) 7.89 (d, J=0.76 Hz, 1 H) 8.59 (dd, J=2.77, 0.76 Hz, 1 H) 8.96 (s, 1 H). 13C NMR (101 MHz, CHLOROFORM-d) δ ppm 109.96 (s, 1 C) 111.39 - 112.97 (m, 1 C) 117.69 - 126.63 (m, 1 C) 130.42 (s, 1 C) 145.57 (s, 1 C) 155.57 (s, 1 C) 160.86 (q, J=7.09 Hz, 1 C) 163.04 (s, 1 C).

All H atoms were placed in geometrically calculated positions (C—H 0.93 Å) and included in the

The title compound was the first product to elute and was characterized in the present study to confirm substitution by N-pyrazolyl group to have occurred at position 4 (Fig. 1).The molecule (with the exception of the F atoms) is essentially planar: the maximum displacement of the N1 atom from the plane, drawn through all non-F and non-H atoms, is equal to 0.076 (4) Å. Other pyrazolylpyrimidine derivatives were also shown to have planar molecules (Peresypkina et al., 2005; Liu et al., 2005; Brunet et al., 2007).
The geometry of the pyrimidine ring is characterized by alternating of bond angle distortions: angles at the N3, N4 and C5 atoms [112.8 (3); 116.1 (3); 115.4 (3)°] are all narrower, whereas the remaining angles in the ring at the C4, C6 and C7 atoms [121.2 (3); 124.7 (3); 129.7 (3)°] are wider than 120°. Such angular distortions were also observed in other pyrimidine structures (see, for instance, the above quoted papers). The study by Allington et al. (2001) contains analysis of some statistics on similar angular distortions in the triazine derivatives.
The dramatic difference between the exocyclic bond angles C4—C5—C8 127.1 (3)° and C6—C5—C8 117.5 (3)° can be attributed to the repulsion of the CF3-group from pyrazolyl substituent (the F1···N1 and F2···N1 distances are 2.720 (3) Å and 2.774 (3) Å respectively).

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The reaction of 2,4-dichloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidine with 1H-pyrazole gave two structural isomers in a 1:1 ratio that were separable by chromatography. The title compound was the first product to elute and was characterized in the present study to confirm substitution by N-pyrazolyl group to have occurred at position 4 (Fig. 1).
The molecule (with the exception of the F atoms) is essentially planar: the maximum displacement of the N1 atom from the plane, drawn through all non-F and non-H atoms, is equal to 0.076 (4) Å. Other pyrazolylpyrimidine derivatives were also shown to have planar molecules (Peresypkina et al., 2005; Liu et al., 2005; Brunet et al., 2007).
The geometry of the pyrimidine ring is characterized by alternating of bond angle distortions: angles at the N3, N4 and C5 atoms [112.8 (3); 116.1 (3); 115.4 (3)°] are all narrower, whereas the remaining angles in the ring at the C4, C6 and C7 atoms [121.2 (3); 124.7 (3); 129.7 (3)°] are wider than 120°. Such angular distortions were also observed in other pyrimidine structures (see, for instance, the above quoted papers). The study by Allington et al. (2001) contains analysis of some statistics on similar angular distortions in the triazine derivatives.
The dramatic difference between the exocyclic bond angles C4—C5—C8 127.1 (3)° and C6—C5—C8 117.5 (3)° can be attributed to the repulsion of the CF3-group from pyrazolyl substituent (the F1···N1 and F2···N1 distances are 2.720 (3) Å and 2.774 (3) Å respectively).
