A method for the synthesis of 2-aminopyrimidines from readily available 3,4-dihydropyrimidine-2(1H)-thiones via a palladium-assisted C–S activation and N–H insertion reaction is developed. The process provides an access to a variety of highly diverse 2-aryl(alkyl)-aminopyrimidine adducts in good yields.
