The mixture was heated at reflux for 48 h and then added to ice dropwise. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (2×). Extraction was difficult due to a large amount of precipitate. The aqueous layer pH was adjusted to pH 4-5 with 28% NH4OH and was filtered through Celite®. The aqueous layer was then extracted with DCM and the combined organic extracts dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to a yellow solid. Chromatography (FCC) (0 to 30% EtOAc/Hex) afforded 2-chloro-4,5,6-trimethylpyrimidine (4.26 g, 100%).
