Procedure

To a solution of 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine (20 g, 108 mmol, 1.0 equiv) in THF (8 mL) at −10° C., methylmagnesium bromide (45 ml, 135 mmol, 1.25 equiv) was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and was stirred for 2 h. The mixture was poured onto ice-water and stirred for an additional hour. The product was extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with brine, dried with sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 14 g of the title compound. The crude product was carried forward in the next step. MS (ES+): m/e 186.1 [M+Na]+.
