Procedure

To a stirred solution of 2,4-dichloro-pyrimidine-5-carbaldehyde (Example 17, 1.01 g, 5.7 mmol) in THF (10 mL), methyl magnesium bromide (Aldrich, 3 M in ether, 6.27 mmol, 2.1 mL) was added slowly at −78° C. The mixture was stirred for an additional 2 hours at −78° C. and the reaction was quenched with 1N HCl (10 mL). The resulting mixture was extracted with EtOAc and the extract was dried with sodium sulfate. Removal of solvent gave a brown solid. 1.07 g, 97%. MS (M+H)+, 193.
