Abstract

Abstract An expedient route to all three monobrominated and all three dibrominated isomers of 4-(trifluoromethyl) pyrimidine, and to several other halogenated pyrimidines, is described. Key steps are the electrophilic introduction of the halogen in the 5-position of 2-or 4- pyrimidinones, the bromodeoxygenation of pyrimidinones or thiopyrimidinones using phosphorus tribromide, and the partial debromination of dibromo-4-(trifluoromethyl) ...
