Sodium methoxide or sodium ethoxide is preferable.
The reaction is usually carried out in the presence of an inert solvent such as lower alcohol (e.g. methanol and ethanol), cyclic ether (e.g. dioxane and tetrahydrofuran), pyridine and N,N-dimethylformamide. The reaction may be carried out at 50.degree.-150.degree. C. for 1-6 hours.

Chem., 48, 1375-1377 (1983), to react with an alkoxide of the formula (XIII). The picoline amidine of the formula (III) is prepared by allowing the imidate derivative of the formula (XIV) to react with an ammonium salt, followed by the decomposition of a salt of the amidine derivative of the formula (III) obtained. A hydroxypyrimidine derivative of the formula (XVI) is obtained by allowing the picoline amidine derivative of the formula (III) or a salt thereof to react, in the presence of a base, with a .beta.-oxocarboxylate of the formula (XV). The halopyrimidine derivative of the formula (V) is obtained by allowing the hydroxypyrimidine derivative of the formula (XVI) to react with a halogenating agent.
Details of the above production are as follows.
A reaction between the compound of the formula (XII) and the compound of the formula (XIII):
Examples of alkali metal atom in the alkoxide (XIII) are a sodium atom, a potassium atom, etc. The reaction is usually carried out in the presence of a solvent at 10.degree. to 50.degree. C. for 1 to 48 hours. The alkoxide (XIII) may be used in an amount of 0.1 to 1 equivalent to 1 equivalent of the cyanopilidine derivative (XII).

After the reaction is over, neutralization of the solution is effected with acid, concentrated under reduced pressure and dissoved in an organic solvent. After insoluble alkali metal salt is filtered out, the filtrate is concentrated in vacuo, and, if necessary, distilled to obtain the imidate derivative (XIV).
A reaction between the compound (XIV) and ammonium salt:
In the step, ammonium salt used is that of, for example, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, acetic acid or formic acid.
The reaction is usually carried out in the presence of a solvent at 30.degree.-100.degree. C. for 0.5-5 hour. The ammonium salt may be used in amounts of 1 to 1.1 equivalents to 1 equivalent of the imidate derivative (XIV). As the solvent, there may be used, for instance, a lower alcohol, preferably a solution of ethanol or water.
After the reaction is over, the reaction mixture may be concentrated in vacuo and, if necessary recrystallized to obtain such salt as hydrochloride, hydrobromide, acetate or formate of picoline amidine derivative of the formula (III). The salt is decomposed by a usual manner such as neutralization with an inorganic base, for example sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium methoxide of sodium ethoxide, to obtain picoline amidine derivative of the formula (III).
Alternatively, the salt may be subjected, as it is, to the next step where decomposition thereof is effected.
Reaction between picoline amidine derivative having the formula (III) or a salt thereof and the .beta.-oxocarboxylate having the formula (XV):
The reaction is usually carried out in the presence of a solvent at 50.degree.-150.degree. C. for 1-24 hours. The .beta.-oxocarboxylate (XV) may be used in an amount of 1 to 1.5 equivalents to 1 equivalent of the picoline amidine derivative (III) or a salt thereof. The base may be used from a catalytic amount to 1.5 equivalents to 1 equivalent of the picoline amidine derivative (III) or a salt thereof.
As the solvent, there may be used, for instance, lower alcohol such as methanol or ethanol, cyclic ether such as dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, pyridine, N,N-dimethylformamide, water or a mixture thereof.
As the base, there may be used, for instance, inorganic base such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, or organic one such as alkali metal alkoxide such as sodium methoxide, triethylamine or N,N-diethylaniline. After the reaction is over, in case of using the salt of picoline amidine derivative of the formula (III), the by-produced inorganic salt is filtered out, and the filtrate is concentrated in vacuo to obtain a residue. The residue may be treated by chromatography or recrystallization to obtain the hydroxypyrimidine derivative (XVI).
Reaction between the hydroxypyrimidine derivative having the formula (XVI) and the halogenating agent:
As the halogenating agent, there may be used, for instance, thionyl chloride, phosgene, phosphoryl chloride, phosphorus pentachloride, phosphoryl bromide or phosphorus tribromide.
The reaction is usually carried out in the presence of a solvent at 50.degree.-150.degree. C. for 1-10 hours. The halogenating agent may be used in an amount of 1 to 10 equivalents to 1 equivalent of the hydroxypyrimidine derivative (XVI). As the solvent, there may be used, for instance, aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g. benzene or toluene), halogenated hydrocarbons (e.g. chlorobenzene), etc.
After the reaction is over, a post-treatment of the reaction mixture may be carried out in a usual manner. For instance, the reaction mixture is concentrated under reduced pressure and neutralized with an inorganic base (e.g. sodium hydroxide). Then, the above mixture is extracted with an organic solvent and the extract is concentrated in vacuo to obtain the halopyrimidine derivative (V). Any further procedure such as chromatography or recrystallization may be applied, if necessary, to the resultant product.

Preparation of picoline amidine derivative (III) (HCl-salt)
2-Cyano-6-phenylpyridine (20 g) was dissolved in a solution of sodium methoxide in methanol prepared from methanol (200 ml) and metallic sodium (0.77 g). After the solution was left to stand overnight, acetic acid (2.0 g) was added thereto, followed by concentration under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was dissolved in ether (200 ml) and insoluble materials were filtered out. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain methyl 2-picoline imidate.
To the imidate obtained above was added a solution of ammonium chloride (5.94 g) in water (30 ml) and ethanol (120 ml) and the mixture was heated under refluxing for one hour. After being left to stand to cool, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The crystalline residue obtained was washed with acetone to obtain 6-phenyl-2-picoline amidine hydrochloride (22 g).
