Reaction Steps

Ethyl 5-amino-2-chloropyrimidine-4-carboxylate (0.90 g, 4.0 mmol) was dissolved in THF (22 mL). To it water (8 mL) and 1M lithium hydroxide (11 mL, 11 mmol) were added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 6 h. The reaction was then acidified to pH6 with 6N HCl (1.15 mL) and concentrated in vacuo to remove organic solvent. The solid was collected by filtration and washed with water to give 5-amino-2-chloropyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid as a yellow solid (434 mg, 60%).
