Procedure

To a mixture of 2,6-dichlorophenyl acetic acid (100 g, 487 mmol) and DMF (1.5 mL) in toluene (600 mL) was added thionyl chloride (116 g, 974 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at rt. After 12 h, the solution was concentrated to provide 2,6-dichloro-phenylacetyl chloride as colorless oil. MS (ESI): mass calcd. for C8H5Cl3O, 221.94; m/z found, 223.0 [M+H]+. 1H NMR (CDCl3): 7.33 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 2H), 7.29-7.24 (m, 1H), 4.56 (s, 2H). A suspension of the crude 2,6-dichloro-phenylacetyl chloride and 4,6-dichloro-pyrimidin-5-ylamine (76 g, 463 mmol) was heated neat to 130° C. After 1 h, the resulting solid was cooled, collected by filtration, and washed with cold MeOH (400 mL) to provide the title compound as a solid (135 g, 84%). MS (ESI): mass calcd. for C12H7Cl4N3O, 348.9; m/z found, 350.0 [M+H]+. 1H NMR ((CD3)2SO): 10.59 (s, 1H), 8.86 (s, 1H), 7.50 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 2H), 7.37-7.33 (m, 1H), 4.13 (s, 2H).
