Acetonitrile → 4-[(4-Chlorophenyl)sulfanyl]-6-ethyl-5-fluoropyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

61.0 g of 4-chloro-6-ethyl-5-fluoropyrimidine was added to 600 ml of acetonitrile, and 60.4 g of 4-chlorothiophenol was added thereto followed by lowering the temperature to 10° C. 66.1 ml of diisopropylethylamine was added to the resulting solution, and reacted for 2 hours while maintaining the temperature at room temperature. 100 ml of dichloromethane and 300 ml of water were added to the resulting mixture to separate layer, and the resulting aqueous mixture was extracted with 300 ml of dichloromethane. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate, concentrated under a reduced pressure, and crystallized at 5° C. in 305 ml of isopropanol and 122 ml of water to obtain the white title compound (85.6 g). Then, the filtrate was additionally concentrated under a reduced pressure, and crystallized at 5° C. in 30 ml of isopropanol to obtain 12.3 g of the title compound (total: 97.9 g, total yield: 96%).
