2-Bromopyrimidine is used in the preparation of 2,7-bis(2-pyrimidyl)-9,9-dihexylfluorene by cross-coupling with 9,9-dihexylfluorene-2,7-diboronic acid. It undergoes microwave-assisted aminocarbonylation at C-2 with palladium and molybdenum hexacarbonyl.
The recent synthesis of 2-bromopyrimidine by diazotization of 2-aminopyrimidine in hydrobromic acid has furnished a convenient starting material for other 2-substituted pyrimidines.
2-Bromopyrimidine undergoes microwave-assisited aminocarbonylation at C-2 with palladium and Mo(CO)6.
