Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-methoxymethyl-4-pyrimidone (1.73 g) and phosphorus oxychloride (20 ml) were heated together under reflux for 30 minutes. The mixture was stripped, ice/water added and the pH raised to 14 (NaOH). The solution was extracted with chloroform, the extracts dried (MgSO4) and stripped to give 2-methoxymethyl-4-chloropyrimidine (1.72 g) as an oil which was used without further purification.
