Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-bromo-2-iodo-pyrimidine (30 g, 0.11 mol), TMSCF3 (30 g, 0.21 mol), KF (9.2 g, 0.16 mol) and CuI (30 g, 0.16 mol) in DMF (300 mL) was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was quenched by NH3.H2O (600 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (500 mL×3). The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (Petroleum ether) to give 5-bromo-2-trifluoromethyl-pyrimidine (4 g, yield: 16.7%). 1H NMR (CDCl3 400 Hz): δ8.90 (s, 2H).
