Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 12.3 g (0.10 mole) of 2-amino-4,6-dimethylpyrimidine and 8 ml (0.109 mole) of methylsulfide in 100 ml of methylene chloride at -20° C. was added dropwise a solution of 13.3 g (0.10 mole) of N-chlorosuccinimide in 300 ml of methylene chloride. After addition, the resulting solution was warmed to room temperature and was kept at room temperature for one hour with stirring. The solution was then washed with 400 ml of 2.5% sodium hydroxide aqueous solution and then 400 ml of water. This solution was dried over sodium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was washed with ethyl ether, and dried under vacuum at ambient temperature to afford 4 g of the title compound as a white solid, m.p. 117°-120° C.
