4,6-Dichloro-2-(methylthio)pyrimidine Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

Step b: 4, 6-Dichloro-2-methylsulfanyl-pyrimidine (19b) ; 2-Methylsulfanyl-pyrimidine-4, 6-diol (30.0 g, 189 mmol) was added slowly to phosphorus oxychloride (350 ml ) while cooling on ice then N, N-diethylaniline (52.5 ml) was added slowly while cooling. The mixture was slowly warmed till reflux and refluxed for 2.5 hours. The mixture was evaporated and added to crushed ice. The mixture was extracted three times with ethyl acetate and the combined organic layers were washed three times with water, once with brine and concentrated. Purification by column chromatography on silica gel eluted with hexane - ethyl acetate gave the title compound (36 g, 97percent).A solution of 2-methylthiopyrimidine-4, 6-diol (12.5 g, 79.11 mmol) in phosphorous oxychloride (60 ml) was heated to 105-110° C. for 6 hours. The phosphorous oxychloride was removed under reduced pressure to give a residue which was partitioned between dichloromethane and water. The organic layer was separated, dried and concentrated to give a residue. Purification was done by silica gel flash column chromatography (3percent ethyl acetate in hexane) to afford the desired product as a white solid (10 g, 65percent yield).

Uses

As a medicine and pesticide intermediate, it is used in the synthesis of salicylic acid pyrimidine herbicides.
