Reaction Steps

6.0 G. of 4-chloro-5-cyano-2-(4-n-pentyloxyphenyl)-pyrimidine are reacted in 260 ml. of 50% dioxane with 23.0 g. of pre-treated zinc dust and worked up after the reaction in a manner analogous to that described in Example 13. There is obtained 5-cyano-2-(4-n-pentyloxyphenyl)-pyrimidine as colorless crystals having a melting point of 98.0°-98.1° C. (smectic); nematic at 102.1° C; clearing point 133.2° C.
