Procedure

A solution of ethyl 4-chloro-2-(methylthio)pyrimidine-5-carboxylate (42 g, 181 mmol) in EtOH (400 mL) was treated with a solution of methylamine (12.3 g, 397 mmol) in EtOH (100 mL) at 0° C. and the mixture was stirred for 3 h. The mixture was concentrated and then partitioned between H2O (200 mL) and CH2Cl2 (500 mL). The organic layer was washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo to give ethyl 4-(methylamino)-2-(methylthio)pyrimidine-5-carboxylate as a white solid (36.0 g, 88% yield). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3), 8.59 (s, 1 H), 8.18 (br s, 1 H), 4.31 (q, J=7.2 Hz, 2 H), 3.05 (d, J=4.8 Hz, 3 H), 2.52 (s, 3 H), 1.34 (t, J=7.2 Hz, 3 H); MS (ESI) m/z: 228.1 (M+H+).
