Reaction Steps

The mixture of 7-Chloro-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidin-5-ol (35 mg) in POCl3 was heated at reflux for 3 hours. After removal of the volatiles, the residue was purified by a short plug column eluting with 1:1 EtOAc/hexane to give 5,7-Dichloro-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine as an off-white solid (11 mg). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.49 (s, 1H) 7.72 (s, 1H). [M+H] calc'd for C5H2Cl2N4, 189; found, 189.
