To a mixture of 7-chloro-2-(2,6-dichloro-benzyl)-thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine (113 mg, 0.34 mmol), 1,2,3,4,5-pentaphenyl-1-(di-t-butylphosphino)ferrocene (49 mg, 0.07 mmol), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium (0) (31 mg, 0.03 mmol), and 5-trifluoromethyl-pyrazin-2-ylamine (66 mg, 0.41 mmol) in toluene (3 mL) was added NaOtBu (40 mg, 0.41 mmol) at rt. The mixture was heated to 90° C. under N2. After 18 h, the reaction mixture was cooled and filtered through a pad of diatomaceous earth, eluting with MeOH (30 mL). The filtrate was concentrated and the crude residue was purified using preparative reverse-phase HPLC to afford the title compound a colorless solid (43 mg, 28%). MS (ESI): mass calcd. for C17H9Cl2F3N6S, 455.9; m/z found, 457.0 [M+H]+. 1H NMR ((CD3)2SO): 10.77 (s, 1H), 9.49 (s, 1H), 8.88-8.87 (m, 1H), 8.75 (s, 1H), 7.59 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 2H), 7.45 (dd, J=8.5, 7.7 Hz, 1H), 4.83 (s, 2H).
