2,4-Dichloro-5-fluoropyrimidine → 2-Chloro-5-fluoro-4-thiocyanopyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 50 ml of formic acid, a reaction of 10.0 g of 2,4-dichloro-5-fluoropyrimidine and 5.8 g of potassium thiocyanate was conducted at room temperature (20° C.) for 5 hours in a similar manner as Synthesis Example 1. Then, the reaction mixture was treated in a similar procedure as Synthesis Example 1, there was obtained a 68.0% yield of 2-chloro-5-fluoro-4-thiocyanopyrimidine, m.p. 103°-104° C.
