2,4-Dichloro-5-cyanopyrimidine → 2-Amino-4-chloropyrimidine-5-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 2,4-dichloropyrimidine-5-carbonitrile (500 mg, 2.87 mmol) in MeOH (5 mL) was added 2M NH3/MeOH (5 mL). After stirring for 20 min the resulting precipitate was filtered and washed with MeOH to afford the title compound as a white solid (173 mg, 39%). LCMS (Method C): RT 1.91 min [M+H]+ 155.1. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 400 MHz): δ 8.68 (1H, s), 8.23 (2H, br s)
