Versuchsvorschrift

To a solution of 2-chloropyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid (1.0 g, 6.31 mmol) in 1:1 benzene (5 mL) and MeOH (5 mL) at 0° C. was added trimethylsilyl-diazomethane (2.0 M solution in hexanes, 3.78 mL, 7.57 mmol) dropwise. The solution was left to stir for 14 hr and concentrated to dryness. Flash chromatography on silica (0-100% EtOAc/hexanes) afforded methyl 2-chloropyrimidine-4-carboxylate (980 mg, 5.68 mmol, 90% yield) as a yellow oil. MS ESI: [M+H]+ m/z 173.0. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.88 (dd, J=1.5, 4.9, 1H), 7.96 (dd, J=1.5, 4.9, 1H), 4.04 (d, J=1.5, 3H).
