Methylamine → 6-chloro-N-methylpyrimidin-4-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To an ice-bath cooled solution of 4,6-dichloropyrimidine (3 g, 20 mmol) in THF (5 mL), NEt3 (5.6 mL, 40 mmol) was added followed by slow addition of N-methylamine (2 M in THF, 10 mL, 20 mmol). The mixture was warmed to RT and stirred overnight. The mixture was concentrated in-vacuo, the residue suspended in Et2O and solid collected to give the title compound as a white solid.
