Reaction Steps

4-Chloro-6-methylpyrimidin-2-ylamine (5 g, 0.04 mol) was suspended in acetonitrile (50 mL) and methanol (50 mL) and N-iodosuccinimide (12 g, 0.05 mol, 1.5 equiv.) added to the resulting mixture. The mixture was heated to 60° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere for 3 h. A solid precipitated in the resulting brown mixture and was isolated by filtration and washed with cyclohexane to give a white crystalline solid 6 g, 65%. Additional product (˜2.5 g) was present in the mother liquors. LCMS m/e 270 35Cl/272 37Cl (M++1);
