Large-Scale Solvent-Free Chlorination of Hydroxy-Pyrimidines -Pyridines -Pyrazines and -Amides Using Equimolar POCl3

摘要

Chlorination with equimolar POCl3 can be efficiently achieved not only for hydroxypyrimidines, but also for many other substrates such as 2-hydroxy-pyridines, -quinoxalines, or even -amides. The procedure is solvent-free and involves heating in a sealed reactor at high temperatures using one equivalent of pyridine as base. It is suitable for large scale (multigram) batch preparations.
