To a solution of 4-chloro-2-methylsulfanyl-5-pyrimidinecarboxylate ethyl ester (18.66 g, 80.4 mmol) in 260 mL of tetrahydrofuran was added triethylamine (34 mL, 244 mmol), followed by 30 mL of a 40% aqueous solution of methylamine. The solution was stirred for 30 minutes at 25° C. then concentrated in vacuo and partitioned between chloroform and saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to provide a white solid. The solid was suspended in hexane and filtered to provide 14.70 g (81%) of 4-methylamino-2-methylsulfanyl-5-pyrimidinecarboxylate ethyl ester, mp 91°-93° C.
