4-(dimethoxymethyl)-2-(methylthio)pyrimidine (3) (53.7 g, 268 mmol) was added carefully to 1.2 N aqueous HCl (300 mL, 268 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) and stirred at 60° C. for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was then cooled to room temperature and neutralized by the slow addition of solid sodium bicarbonate. The crude mixture was extracted with diethyl ether (3×150 mL) and the combined organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 2-(methylthio)pyrimidine-4-carbaldehyde (4) as a yellow solid (14.2 g, 41.5 g theoretical, 34%). LC-MS m/z 155 (M+1). Reference: WO 2006/009734 A1, pg 67.
