4,6-Dichloro-5-nitro-2-(propylthio)pyrimidine

Due to the high activity of the chlorines at the 4 and 6 positions (caused by the electron-withdrawing nitro group), this intermediate allows for efficient coupling with chiral cyclopentyl amines, which is essential for building the core structure of Ticagrelor. 4,6-Dichloro-5-nitro-2-(propylthio)pyrimidine is a critical, key intermediate in the synthesis of Ticagrelor, an antiplatelet medication used to prevent cardiovascular events.
