2,4-Dichloropyrimidine (1.0 g, 6.7 mmol) was used as starting material and 28% w/v aqueous ammonium hydroxide solution (20 mL) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. Upon completion of the reaction, the solvent was removed by concentration under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was dried and subsequently purified by fast column chromatography (FCC) with the eluent being chloroform solution containing 2-10% ethanol, resulting in the isolation of 2-amino-4-chloropyrimidine and 2-chloro-4-aminopyrimidine. Product yields: 200 mg of 2-amino-4-chloropyrimidine in 23% yield and 600 mg of 2-chloro-4-aminopyrimidine in 69% yield.
