Procedure

Ammonia was bubbled through a solution of 2,5,6-trichloro-pyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester (15.94 g, 66 mmol, see H. Gershon, J. Org. Chem. 1962, 27, 3507-3510 for preparation) in p-dioxane (150 mL) for 30 minutes. The solvent was then removed and the residue partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic phase was dried and concentrated under vacuum. The product was purified by column chromatography to provide 6-amino-2,5-dichloropyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester (12.74 g, 87% yield): mp 164-166° C.
