Reaction Steps

2,4,6-Trichloro-5-nitropyrimidine (1 g, 4.38 mmol) was suspended in EtOH (10 mL). Raney-Nickel®2800 in water (1.285 g, 21.89 mmol) was added and the vessel was purged with hydrogen gas and stirred at atmospheric pressure and room temperature overnight. After filtration through Celite® the filtrate was evaporated to give 1.3 g of crude 2,4,6-trichloropyrimidin-5-amine. MS [M+H] Found 200.
