Reaction Steps

4,6-Dichloro-2-methylsulfanyl-pyrimidine-5-carbaldehyde oxime (7.20 g, 30.38 mmol) was added to neat thionyl chloride (29.63 g, 245 mmol), then the mixture was heated to reflux for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was poured onto ice-water. The precipitate of 4,6-dichloro-2-methylsulfanyl-pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile was collected and dried (Yield=6.15 g, 92%). 1H-NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 2.75(s, 3H).
