Participants

Reaction Steps

5.8 g sodium methanolate was added to 10 g 4,6-dichloropyrimidine in 150 mL MeOH at 0° C. The reaction was warmed up to RT and stirred over night at RT. Then 3.63 g sodium methanolate was added and the reaction was stirred for 3 h. The mixture was treated with water and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was dried over magesiumsulfate and evaporated to give 9.7 g 4-chloro-6-methoxy-pyrimidine.
