The solution was then warmed up to room temperature before 6-hydroxy-2-(methylthio)-4(1H)-pyrimidinone (25 g, 0.16 mol) was added in portions. The resultant reaction mixture was heated at 80° C. overnight followed by concentration under vacuum. The resulting slurry like residue was poured into ice, stirred for 2 hours then filtered to afford the crude product. The crude product was further purified by recrystalization with hexane to afford 4,6-dichloro-2-(methylthio)-5-pyrimidinecarbaldehyde (21.3 g, 61%). 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ 2.66 (s, 3H), 10.4 (s, 1H).
