Thionyl Chloride → HCID 23226983, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a slurry of 9.5 g (38 mmol) of (2-fluorophenyl) (4-methylthio-5-pyrimidinyl)methanol in 50 mL of dichloromethane was added slowly with stirring 10 g (84 mmol) of thionyl chloride. The resulting solution was stirred 1 hr. and then was concentrated by evaporation under reduced pressure. The resulting amber oil was diluted with 5 mL of dichloromethane and then 100 mL of hexane. The light tan solid that formed was collected by filtration and dried under reduced pressure to obtain 10.1 g (99 percent of theory) of the title compound in crude form melting at 144°-145° C.
