Application | 2, 4-dichloro-6-methylpyrimidine is an organic intermediate that can be made of 2, 4-dichloro-6-methylpyrimidine It is prepared by reacting with phosphorus oxychloride. There are reports that it can be used to prepare 2-chloro-4-amino-6-methylpyrimidine compounds. |
preparation | pyrimidine 7b(1.0kg,7.9mol,1.0 equivalent) and POCl3(8.0L,8.0 volume) were loaded into a flask (20L) under N2 atmosphere. The mixture was stirred and heated to 90°C -100°C. After 2h, the reaction mixture becomes a clear solution. The reaction was carried out at 90-100 ℃ for about 8h. The reaction was monitored by HPLC until 7b was consumed below 0.1%. (HPLC showed that 7b was completely consumed; 7a was 97.0A% and impurity 7a-1 was 2.3A%). The reaction was combined with an additional batch of reaction solutions for post-treatment. The reaction mixture is concentrated to remove most of the POCl3. Add DCM(10.0L,10.0 volume) to the residue. The resulting solution was slowly added dropwise to the 25% K2CO3 aqueous solution at <40°C. The pH of the water layer is 3-4. The organic phase was separated and the aqueous phase was extracted with DCM(10.0L,10.0 volume). The combined organic phase was dried by anhydrous Na2SO4 (about 200g). Filter the mixture and wash the cake with DCM(500mL x 2). The filtrate was evaporated at 40°C under reduced pressure to drying. The solid was dried at 40°C to provide a yellow 7a, I .e., 2, 4-dichloro-6-methylpyrimidine (2.1kg), with an HPLC purity of 99.4% and a separation yield of 90%. |
