Reaction Steps

Part A. A solution of 5-amino-4,6-dichloropyrimidine (10.0 g, 61.0 mmol) and triethylamine (12.8 mL, 91.5 mmol) in ethanol (100 mL) was treated with benzylamine (7.30 mL, 67.1 mmol), and heated to 50° C. overnight. The resulting mixture was cooled, and the resulting crystalline solid was collected by filtration. The solid was triturated with hexane, refiltered and dried under vacuum. A second crop was collected from the mother liquor and purified like the first crop to afford in total 12.67 g (48.8 mmol, 80%) of 5-amino-6-benzylamino-4-chloropyrimidine. TLC RF 0.10 (30:70 ethyl acetate-hexane). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): d 7.62 (1H, s), 7.13-6.97 (SH, m), 6.61 (1H, br t, J=5 Hz), 4.43 (2H, d, J=5.5 Hz), 4.24 (2H, br s). MS (NH3—CI): m/e 238 (4), 237 (33), 236 (15), 235 (100).
