Sulfuryl chloride → 2,4,6-Trichloropyrimidine-5-carbonyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a first step, 2,4,6-trichloro-pyrimidine-5-carbaldehyde (I) is reacted with sulfuryl chloride to form 2,4,6-trichloropyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid chloride (II). The acyl chloride (II) is reacted, by a Friedel-Crafts-reaction, with an appropriately substituted benzene to form a 2,4,6-trichloro-pyrimidine-5-yl-aryl-ketone (III). Compound III is reacted with an aromatic amine in the presence of a tertiary amine to form a 2,4-dichloro-5-aroyl-6-arylamino-pyrimidine (IV).
