Procedure

A mixture containing 2-chloro-5-[(5-isopropyl-2-methylphenoxy)methyl]-4-methoxy-6-methylpyrimidine (˜3.91 mmol), 2,6-dimethylphenylboronic acid (1.17 g, 7.82 mmol), 15.6 mL of 1 M aqueous sodium carbonate and dioxane (56 mL) is degassed by bubbling with argon for 20 min. To this mixture is added Pd(PPh3)4 (226 mg, 0.05 mol %). The resulting yellow mixture is heated at 90° C. under nitrogen with magnetic stirring for 24 h. Another 50 mg of Pd(PPh3)4 is added and heating is continued for another 18 h until the reaction is complete by LC/MS analysis. The reaction mixture is allowed to cool to ambient temperature and partitioned between EtOAc (200 mL) and water (70 mL). The organic layer is separated, extracted with water (70 mL×2), brine (70 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to obtain a yellow oil. Purification by chromatography on silica gel (5-50% EtOAc/Hexanes) provides the title compound as a colorless solid. LC-MS found 391.4 (MH+), rt=1.93 min.
