The reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred overnight. The reaction was then concentrated and re-dissolved in ethyl acetate. The solution was washed with sat. NaHCO3, brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (5-25% EtOAc in heptane) to give 2-chloro-N-methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-4-amine (8.6 g, 45%). 1H-NMR (DMSO): δ 8.37 (s, 1H), 7.90 (s, 1H), 2.90 (s, 3H).
