A process for the production of 2-halo-4,6-dialkoxypyrimidines of the general formula: ##STR1## starting from a propanediimidate or its salts. In the first stage, a propanediimidate or its salts of the general formula: ##STR2## is/are converted with cyanamide of the formula:

Process for the production of 2-halo-4,6-dialkoxy pyrimidines

A process for the production of 4,6-dialkoxypyrimidines of the general formula: ##STR1## A propanediimidate of the general formula: ##STR2## is converted with an anhydride of the general formula: ##STR3## to provide the product.

Process for the production of 4,6-dialkoxypyrimidines

A process for the production of 2-substituted 4,6-dialkoxypyrimidines starting from a cyanimidate of the general formula: ##STR1## The cyanimidate is cyclized with a hydrogen halide to a halopyrimidine derivative of general formula: ##STR2## The latter is then converted either with a compound of the formula:
