2,4,5-Trichloropyrimidine → 2,5-Dichloro-4-methoxypyrimidine

Sodium methoxide (295 mg, 5.45 mmol) was taken up in methanol (13.6 mL) and 2,4,5-trichloropyrimidine (500 mg, 2.73 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The resulting mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was diluted with diethyl ether, washed with 1:1 water:saturated aqueous ammonium chloride. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by Chromatography on silica gel (0-10% diethyl ether/hexanes) afforded 2,5-dichloro-4-methoxypyrimidine (280 mg, 1.56 mmol, 57%) as a white solid.
