Reaction Steps

2,4-Dichloro-6-methylpyrimidine (10 g, 61.3 mmol) and 4-chloroaniline (7.83 g, 61.3 mmol) were dissolved in acetonitrile (100 mL). Diisopropylethylamine (21.37 mL, 122.7 mmol) was added and heated to 90° C. for 4 days. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the crude product was purified by flash chromatography with ethyl acetate-hexane as eluent to give (2-chloro-6-methyl-pyrimidin-4-yl)-(4-chloro-phenyl)-amine (1.5 g, 10%) as a white solid.
