Sodium hypochlorite solution (6.15%, Aldrich) was added portionwaise until all starting material was oxidized (TLC ethyl acetate/hexanes 3:1). The cold reaction mixture was then washed with water (2×), dried (MgSO4) and concentrated adding hexanes. Filtration of the cold mixture gave 17.4 g of (2,4-dichloro-pyrimidin-5-yl)-(2,3-difluoro-6-methoxy-phenyl)-methanone, MP 137-139° C.
