This paper describes the synthesis of 2‐amino‐5‐[(4‐chlorophenyl)thio]‐4‐morpholinopyrimidine (BW 394U, compound 4 ), a potential antisenility agent. The key intermediates 3a/3b were obtained from an in situ ‐generated Vilsmeier‐Haack reagent that simultaneously protected the 2‐amino group prior to further manipulations. Displacement of the chloro group in 3a gave 4 in 40% yield and 4‐dimethylamino analogue 5. However, displacement of 3b with morpholine followed by treatment with aqueous base gave 4 in 74% yield.
