Procedure
Ammonia was slowly bubbled through a solution of 2,6-dichloro-pyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester (20.0 g, 97 mmol, see H. Gershon, J. Org. Chem. 1962, 27, 3507-3510 for preparation) in DMSO (100 mL) cooled with an ice bath to maintain the temperature below 70° C. When the temperature of the reaction solution began to decline, no additional ammonia was added. When the temperature of the reaction solution reached 44° C., the ice bath was removed. When the temperature of the reaction solution reached 32° C., the reaction mixture was diluted with 200 mL of water and filtered. The filtered product was washed with water, washed with ethyl acetate, and dried under vacuum to provide the title compound (14.4 g, 79% yield) that was used without further purification. Flash chromatography on silica gel yielded an analytically pure sample of the title compound: 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 7.7 (br s, 2H), 7.00 (s, 1H), 3.84 (s, 3H).
