Reaktionsschritte

16.4 g 2-amino-4,6-dichloropyrimidine (purchased from Aldrich Chemical Co., Milwaukee, WI 53201) was added to 200 ml of CH3OH. The mixture was cooled to 10° with an ice bath and 5.4 g of NaOCH3 was added in portions while maintaining the temperature. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to ambient temperature and then heated to reflux for two hours. The reaction mixture was then allowed to cool to ambient temperature and it was stirred overnight. A yellow solid was filtered and recrystallized from butyl chloride. The resulting solid was chromatographed on a dry column of silica, and eluted with 40% EtOAc-hexane. The resulting yellow solid was further purified by recrystallization from butyl chloride. 9.4 g of product with m.p. 163°-166° was obtained.
