Cohen et al., J.Org. Chem. 27, 3545-3549 (1962)] is treated with diethyl sulphate analogously to the process described in Example 59 in order to produce 6-ethoxy-4-chloromethyl-2-methylthio-pyrimidine which is required as the starting material in Example 19. M.p. (after crystallization from water) 167°-171° C.; 1H-NMR (CDCl3): 1.40 (t, CH3) 2.56 (s, SCH3), 4.45 (q, CH2), 4.47 (s, CH2Cl), 6.55 (s, CH).
