Procedure

A mixture of 2-{[(3,5-dichloropyridin-4-yl)methyl]sulfanyl}-6-methylpyrimidin-4-ol (2.0 g, 6.62 mmol) and phosphoryl trichloride (20 mL) was heated at 75° C. for 1 hour. The solvent was evaporated, and the crude residue was extracted into ethyl acetate (2×100 mL). The organic layer was washed with 10% sodium bicarbonate solution and brine. The organic layer was separated, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and filtered. The solvent was evaporated, and the residue was purified by CombiFlash using 0-5% methanol in dichloromethane to provide 4-chloro-2-{[(3,5-dichloropyridin-4-yl)methyl]sulfanyl}-6-methylpyrimidine as a white solid (1.01 g, 47.1% yield); 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 2.45 (s, 3H), 4.70 s, 2H), 7.40 (s, 1H), 8.66 (d, 2H); M+1 321.2.
