Abstract

An improved process for the production of Diazinon substantially free of toxic by-products in high yield and very high purity which involves mixing 2-isopropyl-4-methyl-6-hydroxypyrimidine with solid sodium or potassium hydroxide in a ketone or ether solvent at a temperature of about 50.degree.-60.degree. C. until a homogeneous mixture is formed, adding diethylthiophosphoryl chloride to the homogeneous mixture, keeping the mixture at a temperature of 55.degree.-80.degree. C. until the reaction is complete, and separating the Diazinon formed.
