Bromine → 5-Bromo-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-4-ol

Temperature

80 °C

Bromine (4.62 g) was added in one portion to a stirred solution of 4-trifluoromethylpyrimidin-6-one (4.3 g) and sodium acetate (10.53 g) in acetic acid (43 ml). After stirring for 2 hours, the reaction mixture was left to stand for a period of 3 days, after which time it was heated to 80° C. for 1 hour. After cooling to the ambient temperature (ca 22° C.), the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The resultant orange solid was dissolved in ethyl acetate, and washed several times with water. The combined agueous washings were extracted with ethylacetate, and the combined organic layers were washed with agueous sodium thiosulphate solution, followed by agueous sodium bicarbonate solution and brine. After drying over magnesium sulphate, evaporation of the solvent under reduced pressure gave 5-bromo-4-trifluoromethylpyrimidin-6-one as a white solid (4.8 g, mpt 226°-227° C.);
