Acetic Acid → HCID 16764602, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

7.7 g (37.8 mmo) of 5-chloro-2-(methylsulfanyl)pyrimidine-4-carboxamide and 37.2 g (60.4 mmol) of potassium peroxomonosulfate are suspended in a mixture of 30 ml of water, 30 ml of acetic acid and 30 ml of methanol, and the mixture is stirred for about 3 hours. The mixture is then taken up in about 100 ml of water and extracted with ethyl acetate. Drying and concentrating of the ethyl acetate extract gave 1.5 g of 5-chloro-2-(methylsulfonyl)pyrimidine-4-carboxamide (melting point 205° C., 17% yield at a purity of 95%). More 5-chloro-2-(methylsulfonyl)pyrimidine-4-carboxamide was able to be isolated from the mother liquor.
