Starting material for the synthesis of trisubstituted pyrimidines via a combination of nucleophilic substitution and palladium-catalyzed aryl cross-coupling.1
5-Bromo-2,4-dichloropyrimidine may be employed as starting reagent for the synthesis of positive allosteric modulators for GABAB receptors (drug-like class of compounds) and pyridinepyrimidine analogs.
5-Bromo-2,4-dichloropyrimidine is a halogenoprimidine. It has been reported as an intermediate during the synthesis of 2,4-di-t-butoxy-5-bromopyrimidine and 2,4-di-t-butoxy-5-pyrimidineboronic acid.
