Procedure

To a solution of (4-chloro-2-methylsulfanyl-pyrimidin-5-yl)-(2-isopropyl-4,5-dimethoxy-phenyl)-methanol (6.5 g, 17.6 mmol) in 200 mL CH2Cl2 was added triethylsilane (28.0 mL, 176 mmol) and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) (70 mL, 881 mmol). After 2 hours the solution was concentrated in vacuo, 10% K2CO3 was added and extracted with CH2Cl2. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Purification via flash chromatography (4:1 hexanes/ethyl acetate) afforded 4-chloro-5-(2-isopropyl-4,5-dimethoxy-benzyl)-2-methylsulfanyl-pyrimidine (5.60 g, 91%) as a clear oil.
