Aminolysis of 4,6-dichloro-2 -methylpyrimidine 1 and 2-thiomethyl-4,6-dichl
oropyrimidine 2 using 5M LPDE yields exclusively C-4 amino substituted pyri
midines, no trace of di-substitution was detected. Yields were moderate to
good (27 - 82%), and the C6-Cl could be replaced by a second amine substitu
ent (sealed tube reaction), again in good yields (34 - 79%).
