Reaction Steps

A solution of 4,6-dichloro-2-methylsulfanyl-pyrimidine-5-carbaldehyde [Santilli, et al., J. Heterocycl. Chem. 1971, 8, 445-45] (1.0 g, 4.48 mmol) in CHCl3 (20 mL) was added 2,4,6-trifluoroaniline (0.735 mg, 5 mmol) followed by Et3N (0.94 mL, 6.72 mmol, 1.5 eq). The reaction mixture turned yellow and was heated to 50° C. for 8 h, 1 M aq Na2CO3 (50 mL) was added and the layers were separated. The organic layer was washed with 50 mL satd aq NaCl solution, dried through anhydrous MgSO4 and evaporated. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography to afford 1.3 g (87%) of pure 4-chloro-6-(2,4,6-trifluorophenylamino)-2-methylsulfanyl-pyrimidine-5-carbaldehyde. LC MS (m/e)=334.0 (MH+).
