The currently reported preparation methods, considering yield and manufacturing costs, mainly use dimethyl malonate and sodium methoxide as raw materials for the cyclization part of 4,6-dichloropyrimidine synthesis in existing technology. However, methanol is very harmful to human health; There are many methods for synthesizing the chlorinated portion of 4,6-dichloropyriidine, which can be summarized into two main approaches: one is obtained by the diphosgene or triphosgene method, and the other is obtained by the phosphoryl chloride method.
However, in the actual production process, it was found that phosgene poses a high risk, has high technical requirements, and the yield and product quality are not very high; The production of phosphoryl chloride method requires the use of phosphorus oxychloride, which is a highly toxic chemical and prone to production accidents during the production process. It is also highly hazardous, with a large amount of waste, difficult separation, and high energy consumption.
The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a new low-cost and high-yield method for preparing 4,6-dichloropyriidine, which is simple in process and environmentally friendly, in response to the shortcomings of existing technology.

I. Foundation and Early Exploration of Pyrimidine Chemistry (1900–1940s)
The discovery of 4,6-dichloropyrimidine is rooted in systematic studies of the pyrimidine ring system. In 1900, Gabriel first synthesized the parent pyrimidine and established chlorination methods, laying the foundation for research on halogenated pyrimidines. In the 1940s, driven by growing demand in heterocyclic chemistry and pharmaceutical intermediates, researchers began to focus on the synthetic potential of 4,6-disubstituted pyrimidines. Early preparations relied on the cyclization of malonic esters with amidines to yield 4,6-dihydroxypyrimidine. However, direct chlorination to form the dichloro derivative remained underdeveloped, with unsatisfactory yields and purity, restricting progress to the laboratory research stage.
II. First Synthesis and Establishment of the Classic Route (1943–1950s)
In 1943, the synthesis of 4,6-dichloropyrimidine was first reported in the Journal of the Chemical Society. Starting from 4,6-dihydroxypyrimidine, the product was obtained by refluxing with excess phosphorus oxychloride (POCl₃) and dimethylaniline, followed by extraction and distillation, affording a yield of approximately 75%. This route became the classic method, solving the key challenge of chlorinating hydroxypyrimidines. In 1951, researchers optimized the work-up procedure, reducing hydrolytic byproducts and improving purity, enabling scalable production and paving the way for subsequent applications.
III. Industrialization and Emerging Application Value (1960–1980s)
In the 1960s, with the development of sulfonamide drugs and heterocyclic pesticides, 4,6-dichloropyrimidine emerged as a key intermediate due to its high reactivity, where chlorine atoms are readily displaced by nucleophiles. Industry adopted a two-step scalable process starting from dibutyl malonate via cyclization and chlorination, significantly lowering production costs. During the 1970s–80s, its applications in Suzuki–Miyaura coupling and amination reactions were systematically validated, leading to widespread use in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals and establishing its status as an important building block.
IV. Modern Process Optimization and Sustained Applications (1990s to Present)
From the 1990s onward, new processes such as phosgenation and phosphorus trichloride/chlorine methods were developed to address environmental and byproduct issues associated with the traditional POCl₃ route. After 2000, driven by advances in targeted therapies and fine chemicals, research focused on high-purity preparation and stereoselective transformations of 4,6-dichloropyrimidine. To this day, it remains a critical starting material for the synthesis of disubstituted pyrimidines, sulfonamide drugs, and heterocyclic functional molecules.
