2,4-Dibromopyrimidine (0.50 g, 2.11 mmol), N,N-dimethylsulfamide (0.26 mg, 2.11 mmol), cesium carbonate (2.75 g, 8.44 mmol), Pd2(dba)3 (0.10 mg, 0.11 mmol), and Xantphos (0.18 mg, 0.32 mmol) were placed in a flask. Dioxane (24 mL) was added and argon was bubbled through the solution for several minutes. The reaction was then heated at 100° C. overnight. The reaction was cooled to ambient temperature, diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. Reverse phase HPLC was used for purification to yield the title compound.
