Commercially available ethyl 4-chloro-2-(methylthio)pyrimidine-5-carboxylate (5.00 g, 21.5 mmol) was dissolved in ethanol (72 mL) and water (14 mL), and zinc powder (14.0 g, 214 mmol) was added to the solution. Then, the mixture was added with acetic acid (2.95 mL, 51.5 mmol) in three portions, followed by stirring at room temperature for 2 hours. After removing the insoluble material by filtration, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in chloroform, and the organic layer was separated from the aqueous layer. The organic layer was sequentially washed with water and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane=1:20) to obtain ethyl 2-(methylthio)pyrimidine-5-carboxylate (1.54 g, 36%).
