Reaction Steps

2-{[(2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl)methyl]sulfanyl}-6-methylpyrimidin-4-ol (282 mg, 1.0 mmol) was dissolved in DCM/EtOH/H2O (20 mL/20 mL/10 mL). Iron (550 mg, 10 mmol) and NH4Cl (540 mg, 10 mmol) were added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. DCM (200 mL) was added to extract the product. The organic phase was dried over MgSO4 and evaporated. The crude product was purified by CombiFlash (0 to 8% MeOH/DCM) to provide the title compound as a yellow solid (100 mg, 35% yield); 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 2.22 (s, 3H), 4.37 (s, 2H), 5.95 (br, 1H), 6.65 (d, 1H), 6.92 (s, 1H), 7.38 (d, 1H); M+282.
