Procedure

A solution of 2,6-dichlorobenzylchloride (0.102 mol) in 1,1-diethylether (10 ml) was added dropwise to magnesium (0.102 mol) in 1,1-diethylether (60 ml). The reaction was initiated by adding 2 drops of 1,2-dibromoethane. After most of magnesium disappeared, 2,4,6-trichloropyrimidine (0.051 mol) in 1,1-diethylether (30 ml) was added. The mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was purified by flash column chromatography over silica gel (eluent: CH2Cl2/hexane 1/2). The desired fractions were collected and the solvent was evaporated, yielding 3.3 g of (21%) 2,4-dichloro-6-[(2,6-dichloro-phenyl)methyl]pyrimidine (interm. 1; melting point (mp.): 106–107° C.). b) Intermediate (1) (0.0081 mol) in 2-propanol (100 ml) was heated until complete dissolution. The solution was then transferred into a pressure tube and NH3 gas was bubbled into it for 20 minutes. Then the mixture was heated to 80° C. for 16 hours. The solvent was evaporated, yielding a residue of two compounds: 2-chloro-6-[(2,6-di-chloro-phenyl)methyl]-4-pyrimidinamine (interm. 2) and 4-chloro-6-[(2,6-dichloro-phenyl)methyl]-2-pyrimidinamine (interm. 3).
