Reaction Steps

Referring to Scheme 2, anhydrous hydrazine (164 mg, 162 μl, 5.1 mmol) and dichloromethane (3 ml) were cooled to −78° C. 4,6-Dichloro-2-(methylthio)pyrimidine (1 g, 5.1 mmol) was slowly added. The mixture was allowed to stir for 10 minutes then the bath was replaced with an ice bath and the solution allowed to slowly reach 0° C. The precipitate was filtered and washed with DCM. 1-(6-Chloro-2-(methylthio)pyrimidin-4-yl)hydrazine (624 mg, 64%) was obtained. [M+H] calc'd for C5H7ClN4S, 191; found, 191.
