Synthesis of 4,4′-Oxydibenzoic Acid Amides and Sulfonamides Containing 2-Arylaminopyrimidine Moieties

New 4,4′-oxydibenzamides and sulfamoyl derivatives of 4,4′-oxydibenzoic acid containing pharmacophoric 2-arylaminopyrimidine fragments in the amide moiety have been synthesized. Acylation of amines of the pyrimidine series with 2-chlorosulfonyl-substituted 4,4′-oxydibenzoic acid gave the corresponding sulfonamides. Arylaminopyrimidine derivatives of 4,4′-oxydibenzamide were obtained in 75–87% yield by acylation of 3-{[4-(pyridin-3-yl)pyrimidin-2-yl]amino}anilines with 4,4′-oxydibenzoyl chloride. The reactivity of 4,4′-oxydibenzoyl chloride toward amines is discussed.
