Ammonia → 2-Chloro-5-nitropyrimidin-4-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Aqueous ammonia (8.0 ml) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (13.2 ml) were dissolved into 150 ml dichloromethane. The mixture was added dropwise to a solution of 2,4-dichloro-5-nitropyrimidine (10.0 g) in dichloromethane (30 ml) at 0° C. After the completion of the dropwise addition, the mixture was kept at the same temperature to react for 1 hour. The precipitate was filtered off. The filter cake was recrystallized to obtain a yellow solid (8.1 g) in a yield of 90.1%. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 9.20 (s, 1H), 9.02 (s, 1H), 8.60 (s, 1H) ppm.
