9-(Dihalobenzyl)adenines are prepared uncontaminated with other positional isomers in a series of mild transformations starting from 4,5,6-triaminopyrimidine and proceeding via 7-(N-formyl-N-dihalobenzyl)-amino[1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine. The resulting compounds have anticoccidial activity and are useful in controlling cecal and/or intestinal coccidiosis when administered in minor quantities to animals, in particular to poultry usually in admixture with animal sustenance.
