Reaktionsschritte

A solution of 2,4-dichloro-5-nitropyrimidine (7.26 g, 37.4 mmol) in THF (100 ml) is cooled to −78° C. A solution of methyl amine (8 M in methanol, 9.35 mL, 74.8 mmol) is added dropwise. The mixture is allowed to warm to room temperature, and concentrated. The residue is partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The layer is separated and the aqueous layer is extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts are washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to afford the title product (7.0 g). (Note: the product contains 5% regio-isomer, 4-chloro-2-(methylamino)-5-nitropyrimidine). The residue is used in the next step without further purification.
