Triethylamine hydrochloride → 2,4-Dichloro-5-phenylpyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 5-Phenyl-1H-pyrimidine-2,4-dione (110 mg, 0.585 mmol) and triethyl amine hydrochloride (317 mg, 2.3 mmol) was added POCl3 (15 mL) and the solution was heated to 120 C for 72 h. POCl3 was removed in vacuum and the resulting brown oil was quenched with ice water and treated with saturated NaHCO3, extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4) to give 2,4-Dichloro-5-phenyl-pyrimidine 131 mg (100% yield). HPLC tr=7.09 min (100%), FIA-MS 224.9 (M+H), HNMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) 8.49 (1H, s), 7.45 (3H, m), 7.35 (2H, m).
