Ethyl Acetate → 4-Chloro-6-methylsulfanylpyrimidin-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 4,6-dichloro-2-pyrimidinamine (1.0 g, 6.1 mmol) in EtOH (15 ml) was added sodium thiomethoxide (0.43 g, 6.10 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred for 1 hour at room temperature. The mixture was poured onto water and EtOAc. The organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer was further extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated to afford the crude title compound (910 mg) as a yellow solid. LC-MS (ES) m/z=176 [M+H]+.
