Colorless to light yellow liquid
2-Chloro-5-fluoropyrimidine is used to prepare 2,4-disubstituted-5-fluoropyrimidine , which is a biologically active molecule seen in anticancer agents like 5-fluorouracil.
2-Chloro-5-fluoropyrimidine can be used as a starting material for the preparation of:
5-fluoro-2-amino pyrimidines by reacting with various amines in the presence of K2CO3, via C-N bond forming reaction.
2-chloro-5-(5-fluoropyrimidin-2-yl)benzoic acid, an intermediate, which is used in the synthesis of benzamide scaffolds as potent antagonists against P2X7 receptors.
5-fluoro-2-cyano pyrimidine, a key intermediate used for the synthesis of 5-chloro-N-[(1S)-1-(5-fluoropyrimidin-2-yl)ethyl]-N-(5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)pyrimidine-2,4-diamine, as a potent inhibitor of the JAK2 kinase.
Synthesis of 2-chloro-5-fluoropyrimidine: add 2,4-Dichloro-5-fluoropyrimidine and reducing metal powder to the solvent, stir to raise the temperature to the reaction temperature, slowly add acid dropwise, and keep the temperature until the reaction is completed Finish. Filtration, phase separation or direct evaporation of the solvent, and distillation under reduced pressure to remove the solvent to obtain 2-chloro-5-fluoropyrimidine.
