Process for producing a 4,6-bis(difluoromethoxy)-2-alkylthiopyrimidine

A process for producing a 4,6-bis(difluoromethoxy)-2-alkylthiopyrimidine, which comprises reacting a 2-alkylthiobarbituric acid and monochlorodifluoromethane in the presence of a base in an inert solvent, wherein, for a first reaction, after charging a part of the base, the rest of the base and the monochlorodifluoromethane are simultaneously introduced to obtain a mixture of a 4-difluoromethoxy-6-hydroxy-2-alkylthiopyrimidine and a 4,6-bis(difluoromethoxy)-2-alkylthiopyrimidine, and then, for a second reaction, to this mixture, the base and the monochlorodifluoromethane are again simultaneously introduced, or the base is charged first and then the monochlorodifluoromethane is introduced.

Process for the preparation of pyrimidine derivatives

4,6-Bis(difluoromethoxy)pyrimidines of formula I STR1 wherein R is C1 -C4 alkyl or unsubstituted or substituted phenyl or benzyl, are prepared by reacting a 4,6-dihydroxypyrimidine dialkali metal salt of formula II STR2 wherein R is as defined for formula I and Me is an alkali metal, with chlorodifluoromethane in a solvent selected from the group consisting of ketones and alkyl cyanides, in the presence of 0.05 to 1.1 mol of water per mol of dialkali metal salt of formula II.

Process for producing fluoroalkoxyaminopyrimidines

A novel process for producing fluoroalkoxyaminopyrimidines of the formula I STR1 wherein R is hydrogen, C1 -C4 -alkyl, C1 -C4 -alkoxy or benzyl, X is halogen, C1 -C4 -alkyl, C1 -C4 -alkoxy, C1 -C4 -haloalkyl, C1 -C4 -haloalkoxy, C1 -C4 -alkylamino or di-C1 -C4 -alkylamino, and T is hydrogen, chlorofluoromethyl, bromofluoromethyl, difluoromethyl or 1,2,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl, characterized in that a thiopyrimidine of the formula II STR2 wherein Y has the meaning given for X under the formula I or is hydroxyl, A is hydrogen, sodium, potassium or an equivalent of calcium or magnesium, and Q is C1 -C4 -alkyl, phenyl or benzyl, is reacted with difluorochloromethane, difluorobromomethane, tetrafluoroethylene, perfluoropropylene, trifluorobromoethylene or trifluorochloroethylene in the presence of a base; the resulting compound of the formula III STR3 is converted by oxidation into a compound of the formula IV STR4 wherein n is the number one or two; and this compound is treated with an amine of the formula V
