Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4,6-dichloro-2-(methyl thio)pyrimidine (75 g, 38.4 mmol, Sigma-Aldrich) in DMF (750 mL) was added p-methoxybenzyl alcohol (58.38 g, 42.1 mmol) and K2CO3 (212.3 g, 1538 mmol). The reaction was stirred at 60° C. for 12 h, then cooled to RT. Water (500 mL) was added to the mixture and the resulting suspension was filtered. The solid was dried and triturated with Hexanes to give 4-Chloro-6-(4-methoxy-benzyloxy)-2-methylsulfanyl-pyrimidine (75 g, 66.4% yield) as a white solid. MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z: 297.0 (M+1); 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.30-7.37 (m, 3H), 6.89-6.93 (m, 2H), 5.36 (s, 2H), 3.82 (s, 3H), 2.57 (s, 3H).
